Default Not so well SYD

Having got a second coupe GT last month i thought all was good. Then the exhaust fell to bits recently, but i got it changed without too much grief. Ordering a clutch today at work...5 hours of work ahead i guess

I'm just about to pick up a 1988 KV coupe 2.2 GT if you need any parts just let me know what bits. It's got a full stainless steel exhaust which is only 3 years old. I've known the previous owner for 18 years (which is most of my life!) who bought it in 2002.

If you (or anyone) need any parts just let me know.

The GT I'm picking up is dark grey, not sure what the original audi name for the colour is. If there's enough interest in the whole car or parts I'll get some photo's up when I get it.
