This is the thread for what could be the most sensible car purchase I've ever done.
The car is a 1997 Audi A6 avant, quattro underneath and a 2.5 litre R5 diesel at the front. All connected via one of the best gearboxes ever made, the 01E 6-speed manual!
Some rust was to be expected, after all this car has been living in Norway for 340k km (211k silly units(miles)).
Time for some photos. These were taken with my phone on the way home after picking it up, quality is shite.
As you can see, some TLC is needed. My boss owns a body-shop so I'll get all the rust taken care of for next-to-nothing by professionals
Here's the VAN-part.
This will come in handy on the roadtrip this summer, it will fit a 90x200 matress perfectly with some room on the side for random stuff. There is also storage under the front, I'll be installing an inverter there for 220v AC.
Driving position:
The steering wheel is pretty worn out on the top, will replace for a used one or have it re-leathered. Sports-seats are very comfy and in good condition but in need of cleaning.
Proof-pic!
Timing-belt, water pump with pulleys was replaced a couple of days ago, same with front left wheel-bearing.
More info and photos will arrive here during progress on the car.
