These things were designed in the same era as the MkIII Cortina and the similarities don't end there.

After a huge (£14k) restoration in 2002, my E24 is still lucky to even come close to the condition of my original, untouched 20v quattro RR. It's never been as good as the shell of my WR which was out of its bodywork warranty by the time my 635 was hatched.

Trade an Audi Coupe for a 635.

BTW, the white one in the pictures above is all wrong. Step away from the vehicle. Walk away now.
is the rust issue, better or worse than that of a ford capri?

Also, don't worry! I wasn't planing on trading in the audi for it.. was gonna keep both. I throw away nothing! lol

But what exactly is so wrong with the white one? Looks pretty damn clean and cool to me..
