Thanks everyone for your helpful replys, 

over the weekend i managed to get the front end back into shape, and will hopefully put it on the road Wednesday.

I did notice while underneath, some hydraulic fluid on the DS components, 
the high pressure hose from the PS pump to the brake bomb is 'weeping' or 'leaking' but not an extreme amount.

2 questions,  
1) can I change just the HP bomb hose w/o having to replace the bomb? 

2) does my Audi require special PS fluid?  so i can keep it topped off till i can get the time and $$ to replace the HP hose?

otherwise, for now it's an 87 5000 Turbo quattro , silver with a slightly darker 'bronze?' hood and 2wd CS divers side headlight.

now to get a factory Audi radio from the u-pull-it ($25) and plates. sticker says 91 octane, any benefit for 93?
