Unfortunately all my money has gone into the mechanical side, so that is going to have to wait a while. This car was really badly neglected by the time I got to it and it needed a huge amount of work (and $$$, also many sleepless nights) just to get it running safely and reliable. Buying a 35 year old car is not for the faint of heart

PS - Anybody here recommend / know of a good paint / body shop? |
Cosmos Collision maybe? They do specialize in German imports, Porsche & Audi mainly. The owner seemed like a bit of a Porsche nut when I was in there with my S4. The work came out great, but they definitely take their time.
