Wow great looking interior man,that light blue reminds me of my fiat punto,that’s not a stock audi color I’d say.
Did you manage to make radio controls to work with that steering wheel?

Popular trans to use is the 01E from the B5 S4. Looks like this person sells everything else that you need minus the driveshaft. You can buy the driveshaft for the swap here.

Wheel buttons dont work, I think its from a late model S3. It feels great though and I dont use wheel controls in any of my other cars that have them so it's not much of an issue. I would like to get them to work though at some point. The wheels is from a CAN bus car and the S3 S8 is a K BUS. So I think I would need a CAN interface for the radio? If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Yeah! Looks like everything but the transmission, clutch and flywheel! I think 034 does the computer flash from tip to manual, and that second link also has the cables and switches.

Makes it lots easier to budget, thanks.
