[urq] Scrapyard hunting...

Yesterday, with two friends, we spent the afternoon in a scrapyard for
parts for a 200TQA10v, my quattro and a V70. Since they wouldn't let us
through with the car, we took 3 little toolboxes and 2 pails with us and
we began our hunt. We were like kids in a candy store... When we tell
this to our girlfriends, they don't understand. But I am sure you do :-)

On the Audi front, we found 1x 5ktq, 3x 100, 1x 200 non-q, numerous
80-90, and for me 1x 4000S auto and a 1987 Coupe GT.

I've left the yard with a diff lock actuator (there is at least 3 or 4
more under the cars...), 2 door seals, 2 sets of dash vents, a few belt
buckles (for the baby seat), a complete set of headlamps and trims from
a 84-85 5k for Brady's barge (the 200Q20V), this set found on the
passenger seat of one of the 1989 100. 

So, if someone is interested, I also took off the Instrument panels of
the Type85 cars because they have the 70C-120C temp gauges. The lady
asked me 50$ for each, so I only took one (with the 220 km/h speedo and
129 000km only). In fact, I took it for you US guys with an 84-85 urq.
Now, before I offer it on marketplace, anyone wants it ? I can also go
there for the other one if there is need for it (it has 250 000 km
though). 

Let me know, pictures on request.
