    My new project car

    I'm going to try and see if i can transform this into a car my wife will like. If not, it will be my toy and she'll keep her audi. I picked her up from schnell3er and drove it back to houston from chicago. 19 hours total - the car didn't even flinch. 220k on the body - 90k on the motor and 30 on the t belt. Everything works.

    Plans:

    Plastics
    Upgraded stereo
    Tint
    Maintenance
    repaint valence and mirrors
    get a new fender
    repaint weaves
    Late model rear valence
    plate filler

    I picker her up for $1500.

      No rust. No leaks. We had the car up on a lift up in chicago and the underside is cleeeaaannnn.....................................

      It may need new control arms, ect soon - but the boots aren't torn on any of the ball joints.

              Yeah, it's pretty easy to say than in kirkland WA. It's not for looks - it's to keep from getting sunburned and sweaty in rush hour traffic. My wife is a redhead she burns during a full moon.

                    That's why you hit the shade at the Men's Club buffet.
