Default Official upgrade: lawn ornament --> Winter Beater

The '91 Audi V8 runs! Not well, Mind you. But it does move from its nearly month long resting place of my front driveway.
Today we changed out the Multi-function switch on the transmission. The old one had a sheered shaft, and was ka-put. Also threw on a new Dizzy cap, re-did some power steering lines, and added a KN filter. Earlier this morning 4 new Kumho Ecsta All seasons went on, as well.
She still needs an Alignment later this week, and she has a pretty bad power/miss issue, but once that is sorted, my list will only be 15 pages long!

Either way, I can't explain how wonderful it was to get out for that first drive and have it move, and then the TCU finally recognized the switch and I had all my gears back. Woo Hoo!

****Also, the Stock BBS' look pretty amazing with a shiny lip and incredibly clean. I'm going to refinish all of them this summer.

I noticed it was gone from your driveway one day when I was heading south on Elm. Good to hear it's running and you're making progress!
