Why This Manual Stands Out

This isn’t just a quick reference sheet or a vague guide. It's a structured repair manual based on original factory standards from 1987. It goes beyond a typical workshop manual by offering body-specific repair knowledge that was used by professionals during the era. This means you get authoritative insights on everything from body alignment to approved welding techniques and paint refinishing steps.

Whether you’re rebuilding an Audi 80 from a shell, performing a crash repair, or aiming to meet MOT standards on an original chassis, this manual is your blueprint. Forget outdated Haynes books that gloss over crucial steps — this PDF gets into the granular details of what matters most to bodywork and structural integrity.
