Yes, the maintenance is the key, yes, this is my 4th Audi, I'll keep it up.
Dave, I'm planning on taking the head off and send it to the machine shop to do a complete Valve job, When I do that, I'll replace the Timing Belt/WP. The reason I won't do it right the way is because I checked the Timing Belt and it looks like it has been replaced not too long ago. So I'm not worried about it for now. But of course, for my own safety, I'll replace it. The paint, bounced back very well, I agree. However, if you take a closer look, it will show its age. But its really good, comparing with how the car was looking. I am working on the interior. As I type now, I'm in contact with the guy who's selling me the driver's seat and some other interior parts. I'll send pics as soon as I have updates.
Doing pretty soon(not this month because I have my mom visiting me from Brazil, so its in the garage for now, not being driven)
- Maintenance cited above
- Install the Side Markers
- Install the driver's seat and small interior parts
- Fix the Ac(not way to have a DD with no AC down here in San Diego)
- Put the stock wheels
- Check the rear suspension.
I have 2 more cars to share the $ invested haha I can't just throw all the money on it hahaha
Thanks guys!
