My second Audi purchase

84 5kt with KH motor and autobox.  $500 Can with new battery and 4 new good
winter tires.
It has 128,000 miles (very young, eh?)
Now I can't decide to use it for parts for the 86 5ktq or keep it as a
driver because it is in excellent shape overall, with some exceptions
(driver seat and some upholstery - Yeesh!)

But the dash IS black and PRISTINE (whereas the 5ktq has 2 big ugly cracks).
When I saw it before it was in kind of dim light and it was in a carport.
The brownish headliner must have reflected in the dash because it looked
brown, but now that I see it in full light it actually is black.
So for $500, I get these parts for the 5ktq

A new dash and other interior trim parts
4 good door handles
a complete unbroken underhood splashshield (the one covering the blower)
a complete hydraulic system and steering rack (appears not to leak)
spare alternator
spare starter
front and rear calipers and rotors (e brake works too)
taillight lense to replace cracked one on the 5ktq
parts for conversion to 4 rectangular headlights
a spare hood to ....experiment.. with hood scoops etc (can anyone say rice?)
sunroof motor
relays, light bulbs, switches
A PERFECTLY WORKING HEADLIGHT COMBI SWITCH
an ignition switch
a complete charged A/C system that was "working when we parked it" (whatever
that means)
downpipe and wastegate to modify????

A driver's seat to turn into an armchair for playing Gran Tursmo on
Playstation
Possibly control arms (if the ball jts are in good shape)

But then again, it is a nice car and it seems a shame to part it out.
Going to see if we can get it running tonight and take it from there.  Those
who have asked for parts I'll let you know if/when they become available.

Thanks for listening

Stephane
