I picked up a crashed 97 2.8 5-speed
A4 off ebay for 1500 bucks. Havent gone to look at it yet. Hit something in the snow and messed up the front bumper and puntured the radiator. Hood seems to be fine. Those two parts are cheap, but I'm not sure whats between the bumper and rad. I used to do body work and remember some sort of metal/styrofoam bumper brace in there. Im sure its ruined but cant find the part anywhere on the internet. I think I got a good deal on this car so far. He said he put a new timing belt, water pump, cv boots, motor mount, brake calipers. Said theres no noise from the front suspension. Its got 140k on it, he bought it with 110. Maybe someone before him already repaired the control arms? Just looking for a good commuter. I hate the way my s10 crew cab drives. Good truck but not fun to drive. I also have a drag camaro so Im not going to put a nickel into this car to make it faster. Just want reliability and cant wait have a nice smooth car!
Anyone got any info on what the part is under the bumper cover?
