when you look at the thousands of miles we ever did, three kids sat on the enormous back seat with no belts, those spindly pillars holding the roof on, its amazing we survived the seventies
mate, you was safer then than you are now. now your more likely to get burns or whiplash from the airbags and belts, cars are stronger so ccrumple less so impact forces are higher. the list goes on.
i always tol my mum " i feel safe in the knowledge that if i crash at 70 in a nova i'll be dead, if i do it at 70 in a modern car im gonna be a vegetable."
thats nice as mate! there are a few nice motor's on that page like lolQuote:

love the quatro and the 205 t16 its a right pic that!!
my boss has a quattro s1 short wheel base the same as the yellow and white one and my work mate is building one the same as the red one on first page will get some pics up.
Nice contradiction there lolQuote:

Getting the NLA bits required from Audi for the rest of the conversion is quite another thing (trust me, I'm an Audi owning geek!) lolQuote:
