Audi 5000 Revival V - Odds and Ends

The car is almost ready to go down the road, but there are still a few little things to take care of.  The fuel filler neck was flaking with rust, and I was worried it might be leaking gas. Fortunately, it wasn't rusted all the way through, and it was only the paint flaking off. 

I used naval jelly to dissolve the rust like I did on the valve cover, then repainted it an unassuming shade of gray.

Underneath the car, this muffler insulator has seen better days:

Luckily I found a new one for $1.50.

An interesting thing about the front suspension is that there are factory stock camber plates for camber alignment:

Anyway, here's the finished result:


It looks pretty much the same as when I started, but it certainly drives a lot better.
