Default My new $1000 Wonder

Yesterday I purchased a 2001 A4 1.8T FWD for $1000. The problem with the car is the transmission. The car runs and does drive, but I believe the torque converter is bad. I cant wait to get the car fixed. I bought this car for my wife, I already have a 97 B5 1.8T for myself. I purchased it for $600 and dropped a used engine in for another $350. I love coming up on deals like this. I think this definitely makes me an Audi Freak!!!
Check out the pictures of it. Just wait till I get everything fixed and looking great!

Thank you for the compliments and admiration I have the same questions regarding the Interior Trim. The door sills have the same trim with Audi imprinted.

Looks to be a stick on. There is a seam above the glove box where there shouldn't be one and there is a cut out for the quattro badge, but since he is FWD he didn't have a quattro badge in that spot on the stock trim.
