hey guys!!!! you all are gonna hate me, a few already do cause i told them earlier what i'm got. a 1983 URQ, gobi beige metallic (thanks richard for clarification ;) ), 206k on it, new brakes, SS braided lines, rebuilt engine, everything in the car, nothing seems to be missing. i also got a spare head with solid lifters, starter, exhaust manifold, and 4 15x7.5BBS wheels :D

i haven't decided 100% which direction this thing will take, but likely 20vt. it's gonna need a full paint job first though. so i might be tearing into this thing soon for that :)

and now for pics!

we got a peeker....

the BBS's are the stock 15x7.5" jobbies from a 200 20v, and man, the look way better on the UR :D

I actually LIKE Gobi Beige...But not the brown interior they came with. Red urq's are over done, so don't think about it. Black and Panther/Graphite are nice colors. The color of Corey's urq is nice too, I think Pelican is pretty close to it and came on the Cabrio and A4 so you can "easily" get it in the US.

ok, it's been driven! i almost thought about selling it....the clutch system needed to be bled and it had a noisy lifter....and the battery was dead....but that was the easy part. it even was a new dead battery! :D haha, guys, this drives like it's brand new nearly. tight. i can't wait to get er' out on the road and bomb it around. my plan is to drive this thing while i take the 4kq apart for the v8 stuffs. i'm sooooooo tickled pink with this thing!

schweet Derek!! Want a set of 16" UrS4 replica wheels for it? BTW nice to meet you last weekend :-D
likewise Tucker, nice to meet and share some sushi with ya ;)

i think i'm ok for wheels right now. i've got the BBS's on it and they got decent meats so i'll run em' off as is :)

you guys should see the stupid grin that's been on my face all afternoon and evening. i'm even making myself sick! HA :dur:

Im jealous once again. I like the color as well, and the interior too (I love the pattern on the seats and sunroof panel). Ive never actually seen an Urq on a lift, so seeing those under engine covers intact was a surprise. Heh, the only Urq Ive ever driven is an 85, never got to drive one of the older style interior dealios.

Argh, why must I be a poor college student :)

you should come to Redmond for auto-x this spring/summer, i formally challenge you, to waste me with whatever you choose. and ya know, maybe, if you wanted, we could , you know, trade, uh cars or something, for a fun-run, or something, you know, if you wanted.

i am completely blown away by the fact that with 206k, there is no rust....i just...i don't know, i feel as if it's not possible (even though it clearly is) because even people's summer cars around here rust too....

let it be known that im pissed at the northeast right now!!!!
