I was lucky enough to find a leather interior for just $200 (a
leather headrest cover costs $200 alone) to replace/upgrade after
my driver's seatback broke. A coworker with a sweet '86 Quattro
4000 gifted me for $200 with his awesome 15x7 Ronal R-8's, the
single best improvement in handling and looks. Toni Dvorak owner of
Euro-Quattro repair was nice enough to let me use his lift to
install an IPD rear sway bar which cinched down some body roll.
And bilsteins all around sweetened up the ride.
Modifications:
Ronal R-8's (15x7), shown with P-7's. Acquired for $200!
Rear sway bar
Bilstein shocks at 75,000
