2000 B5 Audi S4, 6 Sp. Manual, Imola Yellow W/black on 2040-cars

 In 2000 or '01 with +- 4500 miles the car was damaged in the rear and driver's side. It was sent to a body shop for estimate and the body shop totaled the car. The bod shop owner recognized it was all sheet metal damage and bought the salvage intending to repair it for himself. It sat in the back of his shop for a decade under a tarp. A couple years ago, the shop owner was preparing to retire and offered to repair the car for my cousin's husband (himself a mechanic).  There was a list of finishing details left to do, but the car was on the road. My cousin drove it on occasion for a couple years, but usually opted for her SUV - she lives in the mountains and 20 miles of dirt and gravel roads daily would do the car no good. Now she's moving, and doesn't want to deal with the car ... so she sold it to me. I've been working on the car a bit at a time, but as the song goes, this car needs a younger man. I have yet to fix the L Ft headlamp (needs bulb & ballast (I have them), the horn (inop), the ck engine light (intake leaks), and the airbag light ( code says impact sensor open). That will get it through Md state inspection. That should confirm it's a drivable car. I also want to get an alignment print out. It tracks perfectly true, but the Driver's door doesn't shut right and the shop inspection noted that a used rear sub frame and R diff are fitted and the R sub frame bolts are tweaked. (should have been put on a frame machine?) I would like to confirm the alignment is in spec.  Here's a walk around of the car in annoying detail :

Ft bumper clear coat peeling @ top center

No ft tag bracket installed (I have new bracket - no holes in ft fillet)

No ft L fender liner installed

Driver's door mis-aligned (closes and latches, no air or water leaks, paint flaked from distorted top hinge, uneven gap, un addresses crash damage)

small crease/dent on driver's C pillar

Spot of peeled clear coat on top of the trunk lid

R sub frame & rear diff appear older than the rest of the car (r sub frame bolts mis aligned

Bushing noise from rt ft

AND THE INTERIOR:

Info display in cluster faded

Ck engine light on (diagnosed as intake leaks both banks)

Air bag light on (diagnosed as open to 1 impact sensor)

Steering wheel appears older than the car, great condition, slight ding on badge

Ft seats appear older than the car, great condition, but appear to have been swapped, odd finish on pass seat bottom

Driver's door inner latch has slack, sometimes doesn't release door latch

Clear coat peeling on door guard molding

Tie down eyes removed from trunk floor

Little storage box missing from pass inner trunk wall

Lock pump runs excessively long, rear doors do not lock/unlock with power locks

Back edge of package shelf mis-aligned

Rear window has annoying tint

Pass rear shelf speaker fuzzy (I have a spare correct speaker)

Pass rear door spkr grill broken, speaker fuzzy, ( I have a whole spare door panel w/bose spkr grill and also separately another correct speaker)

Original stereo sounds fuzzy (even at very low volume, both radio and CD) only when it's damp/rainy ??? clears up when it's dry (cowl drains are clear, possible issue with amp??? you got me)

Virtually no radio reception AM or FM  (antenna booster?)

UNDER THE HOOD:

Cowl drain was clogged, flooded (I cleared it and treated the area with WD)

Needs brake fluid flush & bleed

Prob needs eng air & pollen fltrs

PLUSSES:

Runs perfectly, starts normally

timing belt inspected and confirmed healthy

Brand new Conti DWS 18" Tires

18" Audi accessory BBS's

has not been performance chipped or abused - absolutely stock engine

and, oh yeah, UNDER 7000 ORIGINAL MILES !

The car needs some TLC but looks good, runs perfectly, tracks straight, and for the right person has show car potential. At this moment it has 6200 -  HUNDRED, not thousand - original miles. It must be the lowest mileage B5 S4 in the country if not anywhere. I'll soon post a load more photos and info. Anybody interested???
