Default FBody_Lover's Audi

My year and a half nation wide search is finally over.

Well after driving all over Illinois Friday, I finally got home with my new-to-me 99.5 A4 1.8T Quattro 5-speed!!! Only problem was that is was 2:30 in the morning
So first thing saturday I started cleaning the car and boy did it need it.



And just because I could


Under the center console there was some pretty nasty ****



All back together


AEB Engine FTW


How she sits now


Here's a pic of my old ride and new ride


And this is my friends loaner golf while his benz gets fixed (bastard haha)


The car was in pretty poor shape when I picked it up, so a friend and I went to town on the thing! Car has 178,000 miles and it shows.

So... WHAT IT NEEDS LIST:
Dipstick
Oil & Filter
CEL, ABS, Brake light check
Front door trim pieces are falling off
Pass. side door jam plastic piece is broken
Fogs and running lights don't work
NEW Fronts Seats
And I think i need a cage or something for the radio to sit correctly

Whatcha guys think!!??

Nah not really. For now I have to keep money in the bank for school and for any parts that I might have to replace or fix. Next year though...... I think I'll need to fix my engine situation......


Can you say V8!? haha

The quattro is the reason I bought the car. It is better than say an old ford explorer or chevy blazer.

Next year I really hope to go N/A, with Audi's 4.2 v8
