Audi 100LS

This is my 100LS, a four-door, 1974, automatic. The car came to me needing light restoration but was a solid candidate and is now in top shape.

I replaced the exhaust system, the electronic ignition control unit, front and rear shocks, control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, and valve cover gasket. I rebuilt both front axles, replaced the boots, replaced the brake light switch, voltage regulator, fan temperature sender switch, and a motor mount. The entire braking system is freshly redone, including resurfaced drums, new shoes, resurfaced rotors, rebuilt calipers, new pads, new parking brake cables, and new brake lines, front to back. The car also received a full tune-up including points, cap, rotor, spark plugs, and wires.

The body received a full repaint following bodywork. All of the chrome, aluminum, and/or stainless trim pieces were cleaned and polished. The interior seats and door panels were originally red and were in great shape, but I had a black interior from another 100LS and installed it in for a more formal look. I replaced the dash pad and installed a modern audio system, although I have another set of black door panels and a rear parcel shelf that can be replaced to return it to "stock" condition. The wheel covers were an option from the parts department and were found as new-old-stock. The tachometer was also added optional equipment.

The car has less than 50K miles and is rare, handsome, and fun to drive. Click the thumbnails to see larger images.
