You're all making me wish I lived in the frozen white north so I would have an excuse to take the car offline for a few months and tinker.

Almost.

Install front Ott Sway bar drop links
Find *&^%$ vacuum leak (began playing with my little vacuum pump just 10 minutes ago)
Replace brake Fluid
Replace tranny fluid and filter
Buy and mount tires on spare rims
Motor mounts
Replace steering rack boots

That'll do for starters, since it's tooo cold to do any of it right now...

The nice part about that list? That's THE list, except for bling bling and fixing some piddly in the interior... then I can just drive that dog until something new comes up...

Upgrade S brakes and front suspension to S4 brakes and front suspension. Which means new lower balljoints, front wheel bearings, rotors, pads, brake piston seals (I'm powdercoating the S4 calipers yellow), and flexible brake lines.

My plans were to change the TB, water pump, change the intakes, repair the dash and put on the new shifter cup but since the turbo went south on the 931 I am still using it as my daily driver.
