My 1.8T is about ready to die. It needs a new clutch/flywheel, plus timing belt and water pump are due soon and new control arms and shocks wouldn't go a miss either. WAY too many 1000's of pounds to be worth while.
Fortunately my flatmate just had a new clutch and flywheel fitted to his 3.0 V6, along with new brakes all around. It's got all the extras and only done about 60k. He's just got a company car so I'll be buying the V6, mashing the best bits of both cars together and scrapping what's left of the 1.8T. Still love the B6's.
Next project would be an RS4 avant if one ever shows up with front end damage and no engine (ie. " super cheap!"). I'd love to do a B7 RS4 with a 3.0 bi-turbo stroker in it.
Here's one in a B5...
