Before i start i must appoligise as i cant speak German

!!
Please help
Just recently had an Audi 100ls passed down the family tree and was wondering if anybody
knows any clubs/forums or where i can get info about these machines!
This is a little shop what we have planned for it !! What you think?
Its a very good example and has only covered 35,000 miles, been in the family since new and has been sat in a
shed for the past 15 years but needs a little love to get it to show standard!
Just need as much info as possible ie anyone
you know who has got the same car or specialist i can get
in contact with for parts etc as i cant find any info on the net!
Any ideas?
Cheers

PPS.: You can use Google's or Altavista's translate feature to translate all those german web sites into english.
PPPS: Regarding your plans for it: Everything looks cool, besides the rims. They're slightly overdone to european eyes

Hi,
don't worry.

C1 is just the internal manufacturer's code for your little barn yard cruiser
They were followed (of course) by the rather angular C2 and C3 (the main topic of this forum) to the C4. Which were all called '100' here as well.
Then hop over to ebay.de, as well. Once or twice a week something's popping up there

Just make sure, they'll send the parts overseas and the toll won't kill ya
Cheers,

Axel

Besides, if you're a us resident and just hunting for C1 parts. Maybe we could make a deal. I'm in search for us parts for another Audi.

Hi im from UK so will be buying parts from US and Germany like yourself as there seems to be very little knowledge of the car in England!! my friend travels to Germany quite alot on business so im hoping he will be able to collect some of the smaller parts for me!!

Hi Ash,
now that's good news

So you won't get hurt by toll.
I'd check ebay.de regularly and ask those people to send the stuff to the UK. You'll have to pay in advance (to create confidence), but these classic car ppl won't trick you (besides the sometimes hefty price tag

).
All continental parts besides steering, dashboard and headlights will fit your car. MOT shouldn't be a prob at this age, anyway?
Then I'd try to become a member in a german c1 and a british general audi classic club. Should help imense.
Just my 2eurocents,

Axel
PS.: If you rebuild the car, please galvanize it.

Cheers mate
Do you know any usernames of parts suppliers on ebay or are they just random?
