Hello, everyone.

I've decided to part out (what's left of) my 1986 Audi Coupe GT.  In light
of recent threads about depositing Audi 5000 engines into Vanagons, I'd
prefer to offer parts here first.

Basically the only things of interest for Vanagon purposes is the engine and
fuel system.  The KX engine is a naturally aspirated 2.2L five-cylinder in
good shape (unknown mileage), pulled well up to 112mph in the Coupe while I
was driving it (though it's probably not quite so peppy if dropped into a
Vanagon. :) If you want this, it would include the ignition module and all
the CIS-specific intake and fuel delivery bits including the fuel pump, ECU,
air box, and everything.

The car also has a digital dash that I'd like to sell separately, but would
make a beautiful addition to a 5-cylinder equipped Vanagon if it fits OK
around the brake fluid reservoir.  It's a variant of the ur-quattro's dash,
backlit red LCD (not LED) with a tach, speedometer, temp and fuel gauge,
clock, and trip computer.  Digital LED light-bar volt and oil temp gauges
are on a separate panel on the center console.

Any other parts may be available, except for interior parts and exterior
cladding, all of which came pre-thrashed (I bought the car two years ago as
an "I need to cheaply move across country by yesterday and in a vehicle I
know how to fix" fury) thanks to the previous owner.  If you want the
engine/fuel system, it would be preferable for you to take the car in
entirety as I have no means of removing it.

The wheels are unavailable, and four-lug anyway; I think only the 5kq's had
five-lug wheels.

I live in metro Detroit.  P-mail any questions, offers, or picture requests
(if you're really interested.)
