Well I suppose I'd better start a thread for this one.
I bought it from a real nice chap on here (thanks Andrew) at FCS this year.
What we've got is a two owner phase 1 in a fetching shade of pink.
I'll start with the pictures of how I found her although Andrew did have some older pics in his album when he was selling her which can be found here:

Here she is on the day I first set eyes on her
And here she is with Andrew and his two boys
So obviously it's been a few months now and other cars have taken priority but slowly I'm getting there.
My plan is to get her ready for an mot and run her 'as is' for a while. A survivor if you like, and then next year a full resto.
Digging through the history has been great, there's even the original bill of sale from its first owner who traded her 3 year old '84 audi coupe in against it. All service history etc etc. it really is amazing. She's also only covered 60k from new!
I've ordered a few parts from mike and so far have swapped the carb for a good one that's been jetted for a bar of boost, replaced some hoses that had seen better days, replaced the wheels with a better set of phase 1 wheels, fitted a new thermostat and throttle return spring, bled the cooling system and given it a general good going over.
Next on the list is to go through the brakes and get the O/S front jacking point welded and then I'll put her through a test.
As soon as that's done, it's a full service and get using her.
Both doors need replacing but I'm going to weld one up for her existance in the rat look phase and replace them both next year.
The best thing I've done today however was to take her for the "first drive" just up the road and back and then fit these
So there she is "Old Nail". What do you think?
