FrankenAudi:
- new crank gear and pulley stack (assembled & awaiting install)
- realign timing
- pray for no damage
FrankenVagen:
- install yet another crank ref pin
- install new water pump and t-belt
- repair column switches with rear wiper button and computer controls
- door hinge wiring
V8:
- fix recirc flap spring (done)
- fix fuel leak (done)
- empty stinking ashtray (done)
- fix hood release cable and remove flashlight that is wedged under hood (done)
- change T-belt and other associated jellybeans.
- repair smokey column wiper switches and reinstall
- door hinge wiring
- trunk hinge wiring
- driver's side door lock investigation
- possibly replace UFOs with G60s for now.
V8#2:
- track down smokey electicals in the rear seat area.
That's just the get it running stuff. Then there is the boost the snot out of it stuff...
- rebuild spare motor with 40mm valve head and MC2 cam using the Rs2 replica turbo.
- Put the 321mm rotors and a set of Brembos on the V8.
- decode the V8 chips and see if the timing maps can be tweaked there too... perhaps see if ammendments can be made to accomodate MAP sensors for twin turbocharging.
- twin turbocharge the V8
I'm sure there is more....

Sell 92 100 CS and buy late nineties A6 avant quattro.
Sell 86 5K and buy later model type 44 in good shape.
Spend time in the spring getting my boat ready to launch instead of working on Audis.

The carrier bracket pins are free, and I replaced the master cylinder. The pistons retracted too when I loosened the bleed nipple and pryed the caliper with a long screwdriver.
I'm worried I may need to replace the ABS servo.
