Who's up for a challenge? I am trying to complete a heart transplant between two B6 A4s: A 2003 3.0 6 speed that took a medium hit on the back passenger door and a 2002 1.8t 5 speed avant with a blown head gasket. The 3.0 and trans are maybe 80% disconnected, but I still need to pull the front halfshafts and disco the driveshaft, as well as a few other things. The avant is completely together, and I haven't even started messing with it. My goal is to swap the 3.0 and 6 speed into the wagon. I'll upgrade all the interior stuff (heated seats, power/heated mirrors, compass mirror, etc.) later, but I want to get the swap done and then I'll worry about getting rid of the 3.0 shell. Now here's where I have issues: I don't have any mechanically-inclined friends up here that can help me with this stuff. What kind of bribes do I need to offer to convince some of you guys to come help me with some Audi surgery? Obviously cold refreshments would be provided, and I'm a big beer lover...

Also, if anyone needs B6 A4 parts, let me know. The front and rear bumpers are gone, as well as the 3.0 brakes, but there are a lot of parts in my garage that need to go.
