    just felt like making a thread of all the stuff i have done and what the car is in progress.
    here is a few pics of the first week i had it picked it up for $1400. All i needed to do was put the trains in for it to run. Eventually gonna b all primered gray. after winter is over maybe sooner its getting painted the stock color again.

    A couple of weeks after it was running i realized it was miss firing put plugs in it and wires still missing and then a MAF code came up so did that. But i did a compression check and found cyl. 5 had low compression dry and wet compression so eventually i plain on rebuilding the 2.8 v6. but slowly working on the budget for the rebuild but until then im doing minor work to the car. So here is sum body work i did to the trunk because i debadged the trunk because the people just throw emblems on it and it looked like a$$.

    Are you gonna paint your trunk green or you leaving it rattle can white?

    I have an RS4 replica style grill. It's the same thing but no chrome around the edges. PM me if you're interested.

    until you get a new one, you could probably hide that grille pretty well if you paint it all black

    Paint the CF hood and trunk body color and you will be fine. Not a fan of CF on B5's.

    Well i got my headliner and pillars out going to wait till next weekend to put the black interior in. On a good note my lil brother picked this up for $600. Think the fly wheel broke, apperently it just revs and dosent move. Good thing we still has a 5 spd trans laying around for this car just incase.
