Exclamation new b5er, questions about work to be done

i am now the proud owner of a 1998 a4 2.8. while it has a lot of work to be done to it and hopefully all with help from you guys i am looking forward to it.
seeing as i am a poor(not really) college student theres no need to say that most of the work will be done by me. so i guess ill get this started

- turn signals and cruise dont work hazards do, odd not sure why

- ignition switch is out (replacing tomorrow) (done)

-needs new windshield

- i kind of hear a tick when i accelarate

- for some reason dipstick was missing one is ordered and on the way

- valve cover gaskets need replaced (done)

-abs and brake light come on after highway speeds for awhile

- whenever i first start the car and start driving and come to my first stop feels like the brakes give way then kick back at me but brakes are still good

- got the p1545 code and p1600 i believe have to look again. but no problem idling or starting

- hooked it up to and obd tool and the absolute throttle position is hovering around 3%, shouldnt it be at 0 when not on gas or am i wrong? what could be the problem

thats all i can think of for now im hoping that the turn signal problem could be the ignition switch? am i wrong

and the tires were really really bad could that have made abs go off? sorry if i sound stupid with that question, learning experience lol

pics soon
