germanautoconnection. Bruce gave me that title years ago.

 Which reminds me I'll be parting out another one. 90 V8 with tons of newer parts. Titan Grey on Blk sport interior.
This was my wife's car before the Torque converter shit the bed. I was going to put a 4.2 trans in the car... but my wife & Audi's do not get along! So I'm getting her a Range Rover. I've been looking @ late 90's ealy 2000's.
 & yes I'm looking for one with the upgraded spring/shock system & not the airbagged ride they come with.

 But I'll post up the car being parted on a seperate post.

 Ron Mit parts... you need parts...LOL
