Old school audis

[Nick_80]

Hey to every one this is my first post plz be kind

Well i wanted to know if i was one of the few that has a passion for these cars, i just wanted to know if neone else has a 70's audi 80 and if they did i think we should start a thread to gather a few images and a little more knowledge about the amount of these cars actually imported into australia, to my knowledge there isn't many around.... well heres a pic of my car

hope it works



bit of feed back on my car would be nice cheers.. more pics coming

Welcome, Nick. I remember these ... and yes, as an Audi. But I haven't seen any for ... well, decades really. Yours looks to be in good condition.

Cheers,

Dave

theres ingnorence for ya! have a nice B5 Passat but doesn't have a clue that there is a sequence to almost everything B1, B2, B3 etc etc.... now my Audi is an Audi 80/fox and it's a B1 and the passat is also a B1, the passat/dasher used the audi platform and created there own version of the car....... The Audi Fox is the history behind your car, It's wat put Audi on the map!


a true Audi enthuse!

Hey mate, welcome to the forum.

Nice ride, but that looks like a early Passat LS.

Post more pics of the rear of the car.

Cheers

there ya go... the back of the audi...... not Passat etc etc...

[Nick_80]

sorry bout the poor pics... havent had much time to take pics of it as it has had the following done

- 80's poptop sunroof that was leaking replaced
- roof repainted
- now getting engine redone
- and cutting the rusted from the front drains, where the sound deadening stuff is


this is definatley an Audi not a Passat looks much better i think

[DaveMack]

Nick is right ... it's an AUDI!!!!! Used to see quite a few of these in NZ many long years ago.

you would think a 'Volks enthusiast' or any one on this forum would know, i thought i was going to have to get it imported after about a 2-3 years of searching and then found it at a wrecker, i love it, so much history and such a quality built car for it's time, "i use to own a 1997 mitsubishi magna and i believe my 1976 audi is a smoother and exciting ride"
