1968 Audi 75L Coupe
Got the white walls fitted today and took some pics.
I want to wash the wheels and give them a detail so the red looks better.
Without the hub caps it gives it a street rod look:
Now im tossing up between keeping hubcap and wheel trims vs just hub cap but looks more povo spec without wheel trims although i like the colour
contrast 
I cant wait till i lower it!

The extra weight of a 5 cylinder turbo should sort out the ride height at the front

Here are some pics of the engine and Auto Union chassis plate
Car was built in 1965 but first registered in 1968 I guess it would have taken a year back then to get to Australia from Germany and then took a
couple of years to sell as Audi or Auto Union was an unknown brand
Question anyone know how I can lower the rear?
The front is adjustable torsion beam the rear is also torsion beam as well but not adjustable.
Would it be like a beetle and I can weld in adjuster?
In Europe the guys run Mk1 Golf adjustable coil overs but not sure what they would do with the torsion beam?
Any suggestions?

Hope this dear old girl hasn't fallen into the wrong hands.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Not much of an update at the moment. I would have liked more to be happening but my mechanic went away on holidays and will be coming back next week.
but in the mean time here are a few things that i got that are interesting:
NOS uncut Ignition key as you can see with the original Door key:
Original English manual (most are in German) with original folder:
This came in the mail from Germany:
Certificate of Production from Audi:
As you can see it says the car was a UK delivered car which I am investigating. Unless all Aussie
F103's were designated as UK cars due to them being RHD? Also it says it was delivered in 1969 which according to my records has been in Australia
since 1968. At least the colour codes are correct
It also came with a copy of the original Production Card:
I also bought a copy of Australian Motor from 1967 as they were reviewing a LHD Red 4 Door F103 before it was launched in Australia:
Came with a Castrol poster which i thought was funny with the "race" cars they chose:
Quick pic only changes are I got rid of the Mk1 Golf mirrors the owner installed and got some nice shiny chrome ones along with some red fuzzy dice
for something differnt
Cant wait to get it fully serviced and the suspension all sorted!

After months of looking i found one of the earliest Stereo Blaupunkt Frankfurts from the late 60's
These were fitted as dealer options to the Audi's
This is even more rare as its a USA version which has FM/AM buttons vs the usual U/L German buttons.
Im so chuffed:

Altitude adjustment is done.
I have decided on the wheels for something different but period correct:
