1979 Audi Fox Turbo Diesel

1979 Audi Fox

Here is a rare car! This is a '79 Audi Fox (unrelated to the later VW Fox). It was called the Audi 80 in Europe.
The previous owner was a foreign car mechanic and he converted it to a turbo diesel out of a VW Quantum which was built on the same chassis. He fabricated an amazing stainless steel exhaust. It sounds cool and feels quick.
It's a pretty solid car, but definitely a project. It runs and drives, but the brakes need some work - it will stop, but one brake is leaking fluid so pressure is low. It needs work before it would be road worthy for any longer than a spin around the block. The engine is strong and it's fun to drive. Clutch works well and it shifts without problems. The engine starts easily if you follow the starting procedure closely.
Windshield is cracked - needs replacement. A tree branch fell on it unfortunately.
I had it on a lift and took a bunch of photos. There is very little rot or rust through. I have more photos on request.
I bought it to have an unusual and fun car project, but now other projects are taking precedence.
