audi 200 5t project

[bopar1]

Hi, I am looking at rebuilding my old 5t, if anyone knows of a C2 100 0r 200 bodyshell or whole car
in repairable condition I need a shell! Very rare car seems a shame to break it up but needs major panel work.

I think i still have the headlights from one i wrecked about 6years ago

A Typ 43 200 5t like this one? Wow, I didn't realise there were any of these in NZ. They were almost extinct in the UK 20 years ago when I bought my Typ 44 200 Turbo  Sadly, as elusive as the proverbial rocking horse droppings by now I should think.   Am guessing you're going to need to be looking at Ebay Germany to be in with any sort of a chance for parts.

Yep exactly like that.

Also there was one at a hamilton wrecker/scrap yard a couple of years back, but id say its been crushed by now

There was a light green one locally (HB). And in the 80's Dad had a brown one on the yard.

There ise to be a green 200 at bjs, cant remember if its was a 43 or 44

I bought the wheels and my dad bought the brakes off the 1981 light Green 5T from the Hamilton wreckers last year.
A guy from Blenheim bought the rest of the car to restore, so I sold him the wheels to go back on.

yep, that's the car I have it near Blenheim!
Its pretty complete (thanks for the wheels) but the rust is bad.
I have the engine running and have driven the car round the yard.
I managed to unstick the pages in the owners manual and it had a gearbox rebuild and tons of work over the years.
Whoever owned it was meticulous with the mechanicals and it is all logged.
I think it was in the Hamilton yard for several years.
I would really love to restore it but can see $$$ in the body alone.
I will try and post some pics if any interest.

Sad that it sat at the wreckers for so long. Awesome to hear that you have had some luck with it

If i come across any ill let you know. Im always keeping an eye out. Would mind to find another 200 turbo quattro avant

[Pushbutton_auto]

I was offered one for free early last year (helps that everyone knows the audi guy in the hood  )

Can check to see if its still about.

Saw one two weeks ago but can't remember where  ..... (enter senility joke)
