So, I found an A6 4.2L when I was at the junkyard the other day and it looked slightly different than most A6’s that I saw. It was missing the motor/trans/front clip and wheels, but the rest seemed to be there. I noticed that the bottoms of the doors were different, but are there other differences in them.

Also, are there parts worth grabbing for resale on it?

Not many parts are worth anything, AFAIK. B5S4 guys use the fuel pump basket to fit a 044 pump and some others use the MAF housing and cut up the sensor mount.
