I noticed I didn’t make a Post a follow up to the old Post about the Process of making the Audi roadworthy, so here’s the full thing


In the old post I already mentioned quite some stuff, clutch, brakes, rust, the whole lot.

What I didn’t mention however is first how it continued and that we had to replace the windshield, which I‘m glad we did because the new one has a transparent green sun-blocking strip.

As work went on I had to find a radio since the original one was removed and then never to be seen again, at first I wanted to put in an Original Bluepoint Audi Gamma but the one I got didn’t do anything related to sound, it played cassettes and received radio stations but played no sound at all.

To get the Audi road legal we also had to do the rear, which was bondo‘d into hell, so we had to get it all off and repaint the whole rear, but before that the trunk had to be unrusted, and while doing that the trailer hitch also got restored.

With repainting being done we also had to replace the passenger door and since the new door didn’t match the silver we also had to give it a new coat.

And after all that the Audi was road legal, it became a dream to drive and is being called Farmer Car everwhere.

After some time it became annoying not having a working radio, so I said screw the Gamma in general because they are way to expensive and somehow end up so far away from me it’s not worth buying, I then tried to find different radios from the time in my area and discovered the 1988 Bluepoint Nashville, and let me tell you it was worth it, so worth it 20 bucks felt like I was ripping off people.

So here we are at Journey‘s end, an old abandoned car now being a daily driven car, robust, reliable, simple and easy to fix, the Audi 80 was a great choice

I‘ve got another Project, this one was actually started before I had the Audi but then abandoned for quite some time.

This is an old Trailer made in 1975, east Germany at that time was the DDR, which is why this bad boy now is the DDR Trailer

Hello, I‘ve had quite a project over the last three months and today I feel like mentioning it, the Audi 80

Made a logo based on the superhero dream I had a while back, "MONOCHROME".

What do you think?

Hope you like it!

So @LinaWorker asked me to post this, and posted her version before mine for some reason, this is my own Tattletail, designed out of boredom

It is Krima

I guess you could say, he's an "icon".

Look at all these colors, and how well Stumpson grows, to be completely honest I don’t do a lot, he‘s just existing in my yard which might be enough for him
