Faults:

The distributor conked out.

Electric windows didn't work.

The drivers seat was worn through.

A little bit of rust round one of the wheel arches.

General Comments:

Well what can I say, I bought the car for NZ$120, that would be about 50 pounds, so it was a bargain X two!

The handbrake's a little stiff on hills, but it looks the part now I've put scissor doors on with my custom hinges, and softened the suspension to nearly as soft as it will go.

Painted it black with white pinstripes down the side. I also replaced the sunroof with one that has glass.

I changed the seats to ones with a 6 point harness and proceeded to use it for a bit of rallying.

Overall the Audi GT Coupe is a very versatile car. It can handle a great deal of whatever you want to put it through, even at 23 years old. If you are ever debating to buy that one just down the road, you should! If it looks a little scruffy, take it still because they shape up nicely!

Faults:

All age-related. Water pump, replaced brake discs, driver's power window, battery.

General Comments:

Beautiful car, owned from '96-'97, sits 4 6-footers comfortably, durable, not rust-prone, not very good pedal positioning (though improved since '83). Parts cheaper than I expected. On long drives surprisingly frugal for a 5-cylinder with a carb, so-so for urban. Too tall-geared, hardly ever used 5th (E) gear. Robust body.
