Very helpful, thanks!

70s hatchbacks fascinate me.

So how's it going with that Audi wagon? I don't see any video updates. Are you driving it?

I've wanted another type 44 for years.... I just picked up an 88 Audi 5000 CS Turbo Quattro Avant, same color as yours! WOW at the parts stash!! Amazing!! The look on your moms face was priceless 😅

Where is the Audi 200?

It's not weird looking. Blasphemy.

Thanks for the video. For those of you wondering, like I was, if this can be replaced with the window in the "up" position, the answer is absolutely yes! I just replaced mine the other day with the window up. Took about 10 minutes including cleaning the grime underneath the old one. I used a plastic trim removal tool, the kind of 'V' shaped type, to slip under the old trim piece and just push up on it along the length of the piece. The old one will just pop off this way. One of the white clips did stay attached to the vehicle but it was easy enough to pry off. Then simply line up the white clips/tabs with the holes between the metal and the window, make sure they're all tucked behind the metal part (and make very sure that the ends of the new trim piece are pushed behind the left and right vertical trim pieces, not in front of them) and work the trim piece evenly down until the clips all click into place. Push down along the length to make sure they're all fully seated (like Justin explained), and you're done! Wish I would have done this years ago to prevent all the water (and salt!) that have dripped down into the hatch and rusted everything out including the entire window mechanism which is why I can no longer put the window down!

The aftermarket side belt moldings are now available online.

Not weird beautiful

Anyone know part numbers for the rest of the weather stripping to complete around the entire rear hatch window??

Guess you stopped making video's? Need to get back on the horse and start doing some repair video's on these cars!!

We had 2. Great car

"Don't think there is any good rubber" you got that right.

Always keep your air filter clean

Patina...? Now that you made the move to British automobiles. Patina is a Naughty word, let the American cars envy your choice of detailing. Bright Chrome and Lovely paint Will Surely Make your Heart go pity pap...Welcome To The Club.

Hello Justin Dake, please check out this link from Ivan at PHAD he just did an 11 part Audi 200 video repairs and I think you two should know one another and you would like to see his videos as you share the love for that 200. czcams.com/video/5ExFwqaldTU/video.htmlsi=avNR8gILzGxba-Az

You'll love driving it . they are beautiful on the highway and the 5 sp is so nice, and the 5cyl is wonderful, and they can easily be chipped to produce over 200hp. With my 5000 quattro avant i found it looked somewhat under tired so I bought 1/2" wider rims and went up 1 or 2 sizes on the width of the tires. (It's been so long now that I've forgotten the sizes but it's easy enough to figure out. The rear tires were rubbing the body work ever so slightly so I had a body man slightly stretch the rear fenders out, almost not noticeable. The car looked good and I had a lot of compliments.

A word of caution. Many new parts are aftermarket and poor quality or even unsuitable. For instance, the new fuel pump that is fitted, quite likely is producing far to much pressure, which will cause running rich. Likewise many replacments steering racks and rear springs are garbage! The sagging rear may need just replacing buttons, but if that does not cure the sag many owners fit mid 70's era Corvette air adjustable shocks, that happen to fit perfectly. Nice project !

I had a 1978 base model in bright yellow color, which I bought used with 45,000 miles on it in Arkansas. It was a great car, but so basic that it didn't come with a/c, a radio (not even AM), a right-side door mirror, or even a day/night rearview mirror! You had to point the rearview mirror up at the headliner at night or be blinded by traffic behind you. Drove it to 80,000 miles with no issues. Hard to find the 12" tires back then.

20 is too many if you actually plan on doing anything with them in my opinion, unless they are all restored or you are happy having a bunch of junk cars that barely work. If it takes you a year to do a half decent restoration on one then you are never going to get around to the 20th. At some point you aren't a collector, just a hoarder.

Your reasoning is fun as an exercise.... but you can't have too many, anyone who thinks otherwise is just insane * runs away making insane noises *

20 is a nice even number. 😁

Had a 2000 tii Touring. Orange. Built from boxes, surprisingly complete 🤩 Ran Xtremely well when you learned to fine tune it. Small adjustment in the nighttime when the Air was high and cold. The opposite adjustment the next morning. What a Gem! Hate myself for selling it off 😢 Marvellous Vid, thxalot!👍🏆

I think Jay Leno has one of these bad boys. You need a Dalmation to go with it.

What a beauty!

OMG!!! I wish I was there. I have a 1976 2002. I live in Jamaica

Missing the B&W houndstooth upholstery. Super necessary. I had a new one and bought a parts car for $50 that was better than my original. Great cars.

Greetings from 1968 right hand drive 1602 south Africa. Hope to see your 2023 coverage.

My department had 4 of these CD rigs at one time. The government issued them as critical need areas. I suppose the city had to put up some sort of cash to get them. The deal was, if they were needed in another part of the state or country, they could be loaded on a rail flat car and transported with the city's fireman to that emergency. They city had to maintain them but the government could take them back as well. They came fully equipped hose, extinguishers etc. They, like all fire trucks of that era, had dual ignition. Thats the 2 spark plugs per cylinder. The theory was if one system failed, you had a back up. Although you could start them on "A" side or "B" side, you could use both systems at one time.

the other side of the rear window glass, how to put it back? mime got come out, and I don't know how to put it back properly. Thanks

my first car was a Ford Fiesta Mk1 lime green. Absolutely loved that thing. We had so much fun together

What are these worth just picked one up ?

Beautiful, as are all La Frances!

Love the Fox!

Where did the Audi 200 go?

Surprised Cars and Bids is even still in business

These were really expensive fire trucks. A lot of these went to the volunteer fire departments after the big cities replaced them. About 25 years ago I saw one sitting in a yard with a lot of weeds grown up around it. I went for a look and it either had a V12 or V16 but the body was in very bad shape.

I'm having a 1973 2002tii restored and found out that 2002 stands for 2002 places you'll find rust 😅 The reason BMW have interesting car colours is because they commissioned artists to come up with all kinds of unique colours

I have one of these cars, Just starting to learn of how rare it seems to be. Thank you for the information

Justin! So happy to see this new content. We still miss you over on IG, but I get it. I dont post there much myself, but I do browse and communicate. For my next Europe Hot Mini's update, should I make a YT video for you?? I am impressed with the scripting, the editing, and I cant promise I can get that level. Probably nowhere near.... Glad to see a sign of life too. Very nice little collection, and I wish you best of luck with goal 1 and subpoint B :). Curious to see what the other 2 (more) recent vids will unveal! Best regards from Denmark! Pieter

I was working at a used car lot in the mid 80's at age 18-ish and an orange Fiesta was traded in. My boss was perplexed that I wanted it, as there were plenty of V8 cars he was happy to give at a steep discount. I loved the Fiesta, but eventually sold it so I could buy my first new car, a 1986 Hyundai Excel. I did track days with the Fiesta at Summit Point Raceway. Not fast, but fun.

Dang i subscribed for the Audi 200, but this is going nowhere, the channel and the cars, if youre smart, you get the 200 nice again and make a video of it, maybe that ll give u some views. And than just do one car a time...

I see a Standard Vanguard! Also, your English accent is pretty good. Very modern day BBC continuity announcer :)

Amazing video. Keep it up!
