[s-cars] 100 -> S-car conversion

[Vincent Frégeac]

Exactly what I was thinking about. A high mileage, decent shape A6 Avant can
be found below 3K$ so, with an S6 on hand, one can make unobtainium for a
very decent price, plus a lot of time. The next closest thing to an urS
transplant in an A6 Avant in Canada is an early S4V8 Avant or S6V8 Avant,
both way more expensive than the transplant... or wait until 2010.5 but all
urSAvant will have 300Kmiles on the clock by then.

I've been considering this project for a few weeks but dropped the idea
because of the time, tooling and expertise required. I've not enough of all
of these. 

Vincent.

Maybe, just maybe, someone lives in Canada and wants a S6 Avant ,which are 
not allowed there but A6 wagons are.
 Or they could have gotten the donor car on the cheap and are capable to do 
the swap.  Just 2 quick possibilities.
