Default Son just picked up a 1982 Coupe, lowering ?

Hi I;m a newbie to audi, but I'm a longtime aircooled VW ad all 356, 914, 911,996/997 Porsche engine rebuilder in Canada.
My son just picked up a good condition 1982 Coupe 5 cylinder. says 201,000 KM but the odometer is not working.
He planned to drive it as a DD, but has decided it's too nice for winters, so it will be his summer DD.

Good, very solid, drives perfect, 90's very high end stereo, sport muffler,
Bad, smokes a bit under heavy deceleration, some small plastic interior bits have disintegrated, paper shrouding for rad has seen better days, shifter bushings shot, I think it needs new motor mounts, dash squeaks, Odometer not working.

First question is how to lower it? The back isn't too bad, but the front sits a bit high.

Who's good for parts?
Can anyone suggest a check list for sorting it out?

Cool!...i bought one earlier this year from the original owner, here in California;



82 Coupe GT

216k miles.
needs a new muffler, maybe a new exhaust system. and needs some front end suspension work. otherwise, it's a great car!

I seem to remember seeing that one for sale, in the Toronto area perhaps?

IF you or you son are on Facebook, you should sign up for the 'Toronto Audi Quattro Club' group. . Many in that group are familiar with the Coupe and 4000 Quattro models, and are a good resource..
