Yesterday, I picked up a used A4 from the next town over...Mainly, I did this for several reasons with number being that this A4, from the outside at least, is in much better shape than mine...It was started and ran for a while before I bought it and came with the engine bed.

I am excited to get this as it gives me an opportunity to get it ready easily with paint, FWC, etc.

I first want to check compression on 4 cylinders...If all is good, I plan on just removing the head and side jackets to make sure cooling passages are clean and clear...while at it, I will paint all major pieces separately using the por15 engine paint kit in Pontiac light blue.

Looking forward to it! I still have major work going on my Tartan 34 including removal of all deck hardware, rot removal, etc...so this will probably be done little by little...I plan on providing updates on this project as things get done on this thread.
