I'm scrounging around already!

Funny thing is I was actually looking for a C5 4.2 with a blown tranny to rebuild. Car is for my wife who has trouble driving a manual due to health issues, so out goes the Subie and enter the A8!

Shes really not the best to look at. More than a few scrapes on her! Interior needs a few bits and a serious detail! No kidding! I think the PO had molten chocolate on his fingers at all times!

Things on the immediate to do list:

-Oil change(Mann & Rotella)
-Tranny filter & inspection(Car shifts very well, no records currently)
-Timing belt service
-Brakes
-Filters, plugs, valve cover gaskets
-Investigate a knocking noise on decel(CV maybe?)
-One hell of a detail!!

Should keep me busy!!
