Great for an engine donor.

RUN!  Those PW regulators are absolute SHITE.

020 rod shift (needs to have the correct holes, so atleast a tranny from a
A2, no A1 020 would work)

No

Absolutely not.  (Audis have their engine inline with the car, transaxle
behind it).

Julie, DON'T buy this car unless you want to part it out after seeing how
long it lasts.  You could make your money back on the motor...just maybe,
if you found the right buyer.  Otherwise, it will nickel and dime you to
death trying to keep it on the road (tranny failure, windows dropping into
the door...more fun things).
