Look what I bought for almost nothing today!!!
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/118640/dsc01456.jpg"></center><p>Another parts car I think. Drivers fender and bumper/valance are toast. Car ran Awesome though, an dwas getting no codes and almost 25 MPG average at 85 mph!!! Drove it 100 miles from point of purchase and it ran as straight as pin. It is a bit odd, it is a 12/90 build date.
Must have come during the change over from tubular to cast exhaust header, and no rear bar to rear bar setup. I had a 10/90 build a few months ago and it was all early setup from top to bottom.
THis one has...
Sway bar rear end
Glass roof
airbag
surprised to see a tubular exhaust header
Bosch ISV
4 plug ECU
Could the bag o' snakes been added by the PO?

Since you've parted several of these out, have ever compared a CQ sunroof to a...
...sedan? They have different part numbers but no one has ever confirmed that the glass wouldn't swap/work in a B4.

Save it.
Put a bumper and a fender on it (you have some around I'm sure) and sell it to an enthusiast here or from Audifans. You will still make a profit, and you will likely make some new friends here.
You always claim that the cars you part out are beyond saving. This one clearly can be saved. Prove yourself.
Nice buy. Where did you find it? Header could have been added by PO, I know of several who have done that swap. More interesting is the fact that the 10/90 car was all early build, I would have thought it would have been all late build by that time.

Nice, it's one of the odd mid year cars
my S4 is like that with stuff that is supposed to be '93 only (all metal innercooler, oil pressure gauge, etc) and '94 stuff(trim, hood prop, etc)...
If the inside is in decent shape and it doesn't have too many miles on her, i'd vote with either saving it or selling it to someone who will. Too many are getting parted out for little things.

I'm one of the few that doesn't have a problem with you parting them out...
...but it is kind of a jackass move to post photos and brag about your purchase and intention to dismantle.
Go away.
