Hi Nic,
Very nice car you have there. treat it well and it will run forever. by the pics I have seen it looks like you are doing just that.
I don't mean to intrude on your thread, but I had to start somewhere as I just registered.
Checking you guys (blokes) out from the USA here.
I remember the old Audi's very well. In fact I had quite a fuss over an old 100 that I had to re install the engine and gearbox in that I had not removed! Damn that was back in 1971 I thinking so it had to be a late 60's model. Inboard calipers and discs not out on the wheel axle.
I know many of the model numbers and names were different here verses the "Euro" models and I suspect the same is true of models marketed down under.

AUDI 100 as far as I know was just that never a VW based version of it here.
Audi Fox also was sold as a VW Dasher (your Passat) Back in the 70's.

I owned a 71' Dasher Wagon, it was originally diesel powered but when I bought it it had been re powered with a 1500cc carb engine. I wish I still had that one.
It snows here, sometimes deep enough to be up to the door bottom and that car was so predictable and almost unstoppable.
I had cut my teeth on VW typ 1 Beetles, typ2 Bus, had a Karman Ghia, and tossed in for good measure, a few two stroke (dare I mention it here) SAAB's.
At present I own a 1989 Audi 80.
I have the CIS injection on it, and I have got to tell you, we are mandated to fuel our cars with blended petro and 10% alcohol, and that CIS system will develop leaks because it was never intended to cope with alcohol (least the 89's). So currently I am going to attempt a carburetor conversion.
I thought I would join this forum even though your on the other side of this planet, just to see how you blokes go about things!
Take good care,
Best regards,
Craig

was thinking of investing in an audi 80 sport 1.8 manual. (not sure if its a gt or are they one in the same ?)
any thoughts ???

I picked up my new (12th 81') Audi 5+5 the yesterday. Great trims except one tear on back seat and cracked dash, faded paint and all I can find in that is maybe the qauter had a repair and blend paint, otherwise stock.
$200. I couldnt be happier, Ive had one before, but this one doesnt seem to have the electrical gremlins like it did. It also hs an Audi 90 engine 2.3 litre in it.
I have a few things to do before it gets back on the road like brakes!!!! peddle goes to the floor! all the fluids and change the little 13's on it to the 14's I have for my golf. (Hope its the same pattern!!! hahahaha)

If its the one on ebay, grab it it looks great.
I`d go manual 4 cylinder fuel injected personally. Very underrated cars.
