Just got this from France, totally solid just needs some carb work as its runnign like a dog. To give you a bit more info '76 Audi 50 LS 96000 km Never been welded, original sills, floors and body parts. Interior is immaculate. Under the bonnet is very good as is the inside of the boot. Few scabs and scratches etc, will get the minor bits of rust sorted but the rest of it just characterful! It's missing a few bits of trim and the bumper caps for the front, any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I know how rare these items are. Also I need a replacement for the left rear light cluster if anyone has one I could buy? A few pics plus.google.com/photos/109174414448382075124/albums/6076774969807401249?authkey=CN3g5qXQx_K1kgEIt's going to the garage on Monday to get the carb sorted (if it's fixable) and to get it serviced and MOT'd so hopefully should be properly on the road within the next few weeks. Does anyone have advice on replacing the carb with a Webber unit? It's either a Pierburg or a Solex on there at the moment, I think it's a Pierburg. I had a Mk1 Polo ages ago and the carb was always annoying so would ideally like to put a Webber on there but as I understand it the carbs and the conversion kits are quite hard to come by, is that right? Also what would you expect to pay someone to swap it over? Cheers Adam |

That is sooooooooooo cool, you're one very lucky person indeed...!!! I just love those circular air-vents on the C-pillars... I can't even begin to imagine how many times people thought they were the petrol filler cap...?!?!?!
Anyhow, I will be following this VERY closely indeed...

Thanks so much for that link, how good is that? I had no idea you could buy proper VAG parts for these.
I am gonna get the RAC out today re the carb, I am hoping it may just need someone with a bit more knowledge than myself to have a look at it.
It's always nice when your car is deemed important enough to be put into a glass box!
I might get one for outside my house...

Shares the same pressure cap as a 3.5l Range Rover V8 as I found out when I was looking for one for my little NSR125R.
Its strange the random information you find when the part you are looking for no longer exhists.
