Junkyard delivers gold for my Audi C5 4.2 V8 Glow Up!

In our efforts to “Glow-Up” the Audi on a budget, we hit the salvage yard and strike gold! Trim gold that is ! We’ll visit some yards together, I’ll show you how easy this Audi C5 A6 4.2 V8 is to work on and I’ll crack some jokes…. Let’s get into it!

thank you for the relaxing background music, fully enjoyed my lunch while watching the junkyard adventure. Always a good day to go junkin' plus like you said, even for a junkyard, seemed like a nice place with good scenery!

🙏🏼 the mountains surrounding this valley enhance the background of almost every location

Inspiring me to go find a few more things for my A3.

I love the thrill of the hunt. Headed to a yard right now for a coolant res and some exterior trim !

Always so much to see at the yard

[@SCARSORGofficial]

I guess it has been a while since I have visited a parts yard here but the last time I was there it was quite a bit cheaper here. I was a bit shocked by the pricing. I probably could have used that steering wheel in a C4 S4 but I'd need to get the upper trim cover somewhere... doubt the dealer has them anymore. ;-)

Pipeline issues driving prices up

[@BrokenQuattros]

That steering wheel is for early b5, c4

[@AutoAfflicted]

Yes, I wasn’t sure if there was any cross compatibility. In the Ben’s world a lot of the older stuff crosses over. I think I probably could’ve sold it for close to $300 with the airbag included but that was tapping into my A6 budget.

@@AutoAfflicted last one I bought with a bag was $170 a couple years ago. Maybe the eBay crowd is willing to pay up though?

@SCARSORGofficial ya , I didn’t want wait and find out 🤣
