thanks! ^
Stopped by the bodyshop over the wkend, frame has been pulled. Apparently the area behind the headlight was crushed, so it required a pull.
Still waiting on an OEM front valence from Germany.....rust repair in the engine bay under way....
Also picked up a new 'winter beater/money pit'....living up to my username here ;)

coilovers on an allroad!?!? blasphemy. I detect a pattern here... jk
here's what I mean by money pit
work on my (wife's really) 04 2.7T TIP
-- new front and rear windshields, bumper covers and wheel flares (needed trust me)
-- full PDR and paint correction
-- APR stage 1 tune (3 settings, 320hp)
-- new engine seals
-- new OEM front shocks (billies were too harsh on this car)
-- new Arnott gen2 airbags all around, and a new suspension compressor
-- hotchkiss front and rear sways
-- cayenne 17Z 6 piston brembos with C230 sport rotors
-- S8 rear brake setup
-- OEM RS4 18" wheels with allroad offset
-- OEM fold-under euro trailer hitch
-- OEM allroad floor and cargo mats
-- new 2011 A3 RNSE, OEM BT module and Tune2Air AMI to BT dongle
also looking for / need to do:
-- a hatch cover as ours broke :-(
-- interior trim cleanup including the headliner (sunroof leak, saggy cloth)
-- kombi valve replacement (secondary air system issues - annoying)
-- K04 turbo upgrade when the time comes
Definitely our 2nd favorite car after our vert.I BUY/SELL REFURBISHED CM5907s & CM5908s

I just need it to be in running/driving order....the only things I have planned soon for it is new LCD screen for the cluster (can't read shit), ordered a red allroad badge for the trunk from Cut by Cashy or something like that.....and might spray the bumpers/flares w/ SEM 39193 which is very close to the stock color of the bumpers now. Also gonna take a stab at refinishing the two-piece wheels w/ the Wurth wheel kit. They WILL get curbed (gf will be driving it)....so having them pro finished isnt' an option. lolwww.instagram.com/snwmble

That is generally true, especially the back of the motor. But the entire bumper front section comes off in 10-20 minutes.. 4.2 V8 ARs are much worse - timing chains in the back of the motor! A good bud and I just completely rebuilt his last summer
The car is just absolutely terrific though, and you can't buy a new one in the US anymore - these are A6 based and the new "smallroad" is A4 4 cyl 2.0... Nothing like the A6 C5 allroadLast edited by bradnic; 04-19-2016, 07:26 AM.I BUY/SELL REFURBISHED CM5907s & CM5908s
