^ Everyone just calm down.


Uhg, starting to feel some self brought on pressure.
I want to bring this to DGRR, running! lol.
I have a feeling its not going to be in the "Finished" condition I want it to be in by DGRR.
But at least I can get it in running condition.

To do that I need to:
Turn around front cross member.
Fit engine and trans in.
Fab up driver-side trans mount.
Repair front cover studs.
Decide what engine to use between: stock S4 13b, bridge-port S4 13B (needs to be rebuilt).
Decide if to install turbo setup (the one I used on the FC), and fab up whats necessary for that setup, and install parts.
Get the drive-shaft/diff. issue sorted out.
Buy a Haltech and install.
Fab up mounting places/points for battery, coils, oil-cooler, possibly radiator too, misc. wiring and fuse box.
Go through the wiring through out the car, remove some aftermarket wiring, make sure everything else works.
Check out brakes, repair whats necessary.
Fab up a dash.
Fab up a seat.
Replace door seals
Reinstall sun-roof.
Wash windows.
Get it insured and tagged.
Drive it.
Tune it.
Drive it some more.

I think that's it.

If I have time after all that:
Upgrade suspension, (lowering springs, shocks, coil-overs, bushings, etc).
Replace interior with some custom pieces.
Customize rear bumper area.
Customize front bumper area.
Customize sun roof.
Paint exterior of car.
Customize headlights.
Buy wider wheels and tires, install.
Customize fenders around the wheels.


Lol, I feel this project hasn't even begun.
I have 14 and a half weeks to get this done.
