1994 Audi S4?

My eciru (sp?) Interior was completely gone by 220k. Huge hole in the drivers seat right where my balls went. Cracked leather everywhere. The color coating was getting worn off the plastics in little spots on the center console and lower dash panels. Stains everywhere. Still if it had been a black interior car it would have looked worse.
I know there are some really fine examples out there owned by people who unironically know what they've got.

Noooo fucckkk. Is rust reversible? Like, grind away the rust and apply something to protect the car? How much money are we talking about to make the car functionnal and viable for a few winters? As for skilled labor, I got 2 contacts that are very knowledgeable, one used to work on exotic cars

Depends on the severity. If it's just surface rust, it's a matter of a wire brush, sandpaper, rust converter, primer and some paint.
If it's all the way through the metal, you'll have yo cut out all the affected metal and weld in new clean steel. And the galvanized body is actually a drawback here, once the zinc coating has been pierced it tends to speed up corrosion, not slow it down.

Depends how deep the rust goes. If it's surface rust sure you can sand it off and recoat it. If it's deep you will have the replace the sheet metal.

>And the galvanized body is actually a drawback here
It also makes for some really nasty fumes

Yeah. Great when it's intact like it should be, an absolute pain in the dick when it's not.

Can't you just weld galvanized steel back? I'll ask him for more pictures

Not really. There's a good reason galvanizing is usually done after all the welding's finished, as said.

Fuuuckk. So am I better off with

Or continue with the project car if the rust is not to serious? The main thing about the project car is that it's 2.2 i5 has only 100k km so it's more likely to be in better condition than the OP

I'd go with the S4 if you want something you can drive for a while, the engines are easily the strongest part of these cars.
The Coupe needs a lot of work to take it back to good condition, or it could make a great donor for something like a 944 with a blown engine when the body gives up.
