so ive wanted a wagon for a while, and have always loved the look of the older audis. i found a 1978 audi wagon fox, with the 4 speed manual nearby. the car has been posted for sale several times, and the price has dropped on it. it has a little bit of rust on the rear hatch. it ran when it was purchased last, started to overheat, and the guy never looked into it due to money. he said he has a new battery and the car with turn over but doesnt think its getting spark.
im 25, and have a decent knowledge of cars and would be able to do the majority of repairs myself, minus body work or a full engine rebuild. so my questions: how much support is there for this car? would i be able to buy most parts needed, or am i going to be searching constantly for them? how difficult are they to work on? are there any easy engine swaps that can be done for better power and driveability? as far as plans for the car go, id like to get it running as a good weekend car. maybe lowered a bit with some wheels, redo the paint and remove the rust, and then start working on redoing the interior. how feasable is this?
