Thanks Steve and a bit more info

Karen, If you ever need parts - and I assume you're in Canada (even if you aren't) - contact Kristian at VMAutohaus in BC

You can also find some used stuff from - wrecking shops are becoming more adept at sending parts by mail (that's how I got the set of

15x7 Fuchs weels for my car) The best thing I find about this car is the amount of help you can get - there are tons of online sources, the car's fairly common in the junkyards - believe it or not, they're still making the Type 44 body style in China. Once you get a hand on the maintenance, undoing all the wrongs that past owners have done through neglect, you have an excellent 4 wheel drive sports car. The bodies need minimal attention - just maybe the fenders (and they're still available in both steel and fiberglass) and the manual transmissions keep going and going.... If you ever need a hand, look no farther than here, Audifans or Audiworld. We've all spent loads of $ on fixing things, but it's a miniscule fraction compared to the cost of leasing a comparable new one (~ S4, at bare minimum) Cheers!
