Hey Nick, love those little Foxes, had one as my first car. Paid $100 for it, put a gearbox mount and brake pads in it and it went strait over rego!!!

I sent you a PM regarding the grill badge.

Old School Audis

Hi Nick,
going by your pics
your audi is actually a 1974/75 AUDI FOX !!!
the colour is called martini olive and was available only,
on early audi fox and passat, meaning 1974/75.
audi fox was changed to AUDI 80 for the new model,new shape
in 1977!!!
I was working for VW/ AUDI back then and drove your model
brand new! YES, very exciting cars to drive with amazing handling and
cornering!
good luck with your interisting project!

CHEERS.

yup definatly NOT a 74/75... its a december built 1976 and it's got the shortshift.... which is correct because they where on 75 onwards, don't know where u got ur information from but yer back to the books, nice try

as for the colour, yer thats also original

WTF!!!

the face lift was in late 78 i'm pretty sure

Just wonderful

Hi Nic,
Very nice car you have there. treat it well and it will run forever. by the pics I have seen it looks like you are doing just that.
I don't mean to intrude on your thread, but I had to start somewhere as I just registered.
Checking you guys (blokes) out from the USA here.
I remember the old Audi's very well. In fact I had quite a fuss over an old 100 that I had to re install the engine and gearbox in that I had not removed! Damn that was back in 1971 I thinking so it had to be a late 60's model. Inboard calipers and discs not out on the wheel axle.
I know many of the model numbers and names were different here verses the "Euro" models and I suspect the same is true of models marketed down under.

AUDI 100 as far as I know was just that never a VW based version of it here.
Audi Fox also was sold as a VW Dasher (your Passat) Back in the 70's.

I owned a 71' Dasher Wagon, it was originally diesel powered but when I bought it it had been re powered with a 1500cc carb engine. I wish I still had that one.
It snows here, sometimes deep enough to be up to the door bottom and that car was so predictable and almost unstoppable.
I had cut my teeth on VW typ 1 Beetles, typ2 Bus, had a Karman Ghia, and tossed in for good measure, a few two stroke (dare I mention it here) SAAB's.
At present I own a 1989 Audi 80.
I have the CIS injection on it, and I have got to tell you, we are mandated to fuel our cars with blended petro and 10% alcohol, and that CIS system will develop leaks because it was never intended to cope with alcohol (least the 89's). So currently I am going to attempt a carburetor conversion.
I thought I would join this forum even though your on the other side of this planet, just to see how you blokes go about things!
Take good care,
Best regards,
Craig
