[V8] Black interiors?

Thu Feb 5 11:38:53 PST 2009

The only problem with your proposition is that none of the C4 A6 Avants had
manual transmissions.  So you'd be doing a double swap.  You could start
with an S6 Avant, but now you're straying into bad car karma area.

Hmmmm... maybe once my 5spd 4.2 swap is done, I'll cut the top of my 91
Avant and graft it onto the V8.  Yikes!  Actually I wouldn't have to use the
91, any type 44 Avant would do.  But how many would curse me for doing that
to one of only 70 or so 5spds in the country??
