Audi 1981 - Holland
Thought an introduction into the international section would be nice
My name is Joram, previously the owner of a brown '83 Audi diesel wich i converted to GTD with a mk2 GTD engine; Fantastic car and as the kilometers add up on my current mk4 i sometimes scratch the back of my head and wonder if the cost/km of a oldtimer are that low, or that the new sensor driven generations of cars are costing more then i like them to be VW/Audi is in the family though and i try to spread the enthousiasm for them...my sisters '85 Santana 1.8; Together with the Audi; Nice pair My brother in law's Cordoba was in need of a new floor, so whe scrapped the Cordoba and found a Polo Coupé for a small price; Then after a career switch for my girl, whe decided a mk4 TDI would be ideal as main transport; Very reliable car with the 90hp AGR TDI, economic and simple Now owned by a forum member who slammed it with air and a frame notch But as the time passed, i missed the space of an estate car, after a short search i stumbled upon this lovely Bora estate TDI; Quite rare in Holland, because they cost 1,5 times a similar Golf estate and ,besides the optics, there's nothing really different about them exept the looks... The Bora needed a lot of TLC so i decided to put it in storage for a while, gathering parts and planning the big overhaul In a 2 -week marathon my girl and i took apart almost every moving part of the Bora, suspension, brakes, clutch & flywheel, starter etc. etc. All bushes replaced by poly-urethane and the lower arms, stabilizer rods and rear axle painted black by my girl. A complete set of Eibach shocks and ABT springs lowered the Bora and gave it a rock-hard ride, but as tight in cornering as no other stock mk4 The end result after the overhaul and a good wash, clay and wax job; Audio is present with Alpine 235BT HU and Ground Zero speaker units, nothing fancy, good quality All guarded by a class-3 alarm and allmost in need of its first service and an MOT now. I will be posting here in allmost all of the sections to questions and problems i have knowledge and experience with

What a nice and extensive introduction post. Love the Bora (but love the Audi more, still have a soft-spot for those)

I find myself wondering through the Audi 80&90 adds more and more Jaap, so i think there will be a successor for the 80 GTD...
