The future has arrived

This morning I pulled the motor from the S6. I took everything not likely to be used for the project and the accessories off of the motor and then gave it a cleaning with the power washer. It doesn't look to be in bad shape. I don't think that the timing belt has been done in quite some time. The rubber portions of the motor mounts literally fell apart. I think a good front end collision would have sent the motor sailing out of the car.

The project has begun.
