This one is nice but a little pricey. And can not be a 1.8 engine that the seller says as this radiator was only for the 1.6 engine but can be wrong. They are great cars but may seem like they are a bit unloved they are also the most AS Audi model I can think of so strange there are not more here.

I am after either a quattro or a sport, as to my eyes those are the best of the bunch. I know our WR quattro is liable to rust and those had some rust protection* so I imagine the 80s are worse? either way its a fight to get one with the VAG-cultists after them now

Fully galvanised bodyshells came in with the C3 100 from September 1985, but I don't know if that subsequently extended to the rest of the Audi range at that time.

I  do not think that the Audi 80 B2 is directly bad when it comes to rust, but they rust like all old cars. And do not think that 80 B2 was ever galvanized as B3 was. The biggest weakness I have learned that the 80 B2 has when it comes to rust is the front mounting to the rear axle so it needs to be checked carefully. And so should the rest of the car due to age.

If it is anything like the quattro, then check the A-pillars on yours as they can go easily

The quattro had some that was mostly effective, however it was only one post 85 cars and each was handbuilt so no 2 cars are the same, some rust horrifically, some are fine

Random choice*, then?

If I had a unit, that's exactly the sort of crap I'd buy and slowly work on getting running again, with something idiotic like a drivetrain out of a Fiesta 1.1, or an XUD.

Would you like a share in a unit?

These didn’t come in to the country with vinyl roofs , I’m wondering if it had accident damage as itf702fd366e7ae9e917b771347b75338f.jpg
was a trade trick to hide a multiple of sins on botched body repairs , I got rid of mine in 1984, parts weren’t the easiest to get quickly back then , be interesting now. It’s currently at £3200 …. A lot to re-live my youth. Nice bit of overspray, I don’t mind but if your wanting top dollar then put the effort in.

Absolutely lovely drivers seat. It that a huge piss stain?
