This really is a sick build!

**Tredmark4** · 08-19-2010 02:59 PM

This is absolutely insane in every way. Some of the most, no sorry THE most beautiful welds i have ever seen.

**Big Boost** · 08-27-2010 12:41 PM

**yes4** · 09-12-2010 03:40 PM

nice work

**Big Boost** · 09-13-2010 08:44 PM

UPDATE!! The air to water intercooler is finished!!

**Big Boost** · 09-28-2010 03:33 PM

UPDATE!

A stainless heatshield was made to protect the spark plug wires from the turbo manifold.

After looking at it for awhile, I wondered how it would it look polished. Hm-m-m?

Then impulsively I thought about the intercooler................

Then I got a little too excited...........

Now I gotta polish ALL of the aluminum parts. Damn.

Getting back to the S4.....

More bracing was added because the original stress bar was removed and a stainless 1.5" X 1" bar took its place. Jon tied in the original location back to the stainless bar.

Now the car is at the paint shop with the interior completely stripped except for the dash and steering wheel. I'll update on the body work once it starts.

Right back where I started months ago......

**vento86** · 09-30-2010 04:22 PM

**wdbdy2000s4** · 10-01-2010 08:54 AM

I like what you did with the secondary firewall....the tubi reinforcement looks mean.....but that probly should have been expected since the whole project has been badass soo far. .

**steve_perry** · 10-04-2010 08:58 PM

you sir are my hero

**bronz** · 10-06-2010 11:08 PM

beyond amazing

if somebody asked you to replicate this, how much would something like that cost if you dont mind me asking.

**JerseyDubbin** · 10-07-2010 10:06 AM

wow this is truly amazing work. Those welds are godly.

Finish it already!!!!!!!!!!!

**DieGTi** · 10-07-2010 11:02 AM

I like the detail in adding the water jacket to the turbo outlet.

Edit.

Never ask how much a project costs. The wife WILL find out.

**s4harry** · 10-11-2010 10:05 AM

hey would you be intersested in makingg a set of the engine mount set up that you fabricated for yours.
i have the 034 set up but like the idea of using a rubber mount setup like what you have designes. if possible and you can come up with a price let me know. 646 316 0809.

**Jetta_Mk3** · 10-11-2010 10:07 PM

insane build, the welds are ridiculous! Amazing all around!

**Big Boost** · 10-20-2010 11:40 AM

Here are a few pix of the interior pieces I wrapped in Alcantara (black #9040).

The A pillars, the side panels for the dash, the upper steering column by the cluster, and the lower steering column cover are done. I'm still working on the upper cover.

Here is a pic of the rear deck

Andy at Project Two Customs made the patterns and sewed up the center console for me.

The glove box is almost done and the knee bolster is already wrapped. The headliner is finished too, but I'm picking up another
one to do something similiar like I did in my Jetta.

**hyperformancevw** · 10-20-2010 11:49 AM

man i must say this car is going to be the definition of perfect inside and out

**s4harry** · 10-21-2010 04:05 PM

i would be willing to pay for a set of those mount brackets for my set up. let me know.

**DieGTi** · 03-04-2011 02:03 PM

I have an mk2 vr6t and a clean but high mile B5 quattro... make 2 of everything and send them to me and I'll send you a 24v vr6 mk2.

**DubAudii** · 03-07-2011 11:50 AM

wow looks like a straight monster. is it quattro still? what tranny did you hook up to it whats the VR6 out of?

**Dub_in_Rio** · 03-10-2011 03:48 PM

Keep it going Rob. Any chance this car will be making it to Scooter's? When I saw you at Jon's it seemed iffy.

**vdubstookmywallet** · 03-15-2011 08:35 PM
