This is going to look absolutely AMAZING!!

Can't wait to see the final outcome!

Looking gooD El...

Mikey, is this a coolant hose you need? It is NLA, and I happen to have a mint used one.

World Impex use to be able to get them I do not know any longer. Last check they sold thru there for $137.

PN# 447-121-101-S Reg. OEM Audi retail was: $160 new

Let me know....I told you I have some things ...

Cam follower is due for a check and replacement. Found a vid with the tutorial for the R&R which is quite straight forward and the company sponsoring/making/owning the vid offered a stud conversion kit for the 2.0LT which is in my B7. Buying the kit makes total sense when you factor in how ...

Congrats Mikey!

MFTS coukd be culprit for the temp issue. They are cheap & fairly easy to replace.

I'll throw you those IC's!

The little bulbs are blown in the door switches etc. (minus the radio- does that work btw, but just doesn't light up?) Those little bulbs can be replaced gingerly! Great ...

Here's the pic.

So I bit the bullet and bought the shell...I wasn't really happy to do it this way, but its done. I also got it less than our original agreed on price.

First order of business these OEM brushed aluminum side mirrors. Love them already!!

Car came with a complete 6 speed MT that I will be pulling ...

LOVE avants..

Thanks Dan, she's a work in progress! If you can make time can I come up for a professional photo shoot of her since you're one of the best?!

(After I get her coilovers on! Soon!)

Cheers!

Izzy got her sunglasses today @ Tint Works in Burlington, MA! I was referred there by lucidmatt, whom said Randy is one of the best in the business.

I went with LLumar® Ceramic. 35% from the B pillars back & 50% between the A&B pillars.

I've got a permagrin currently!

Love the car... time for some glory shots and/or vids.

Thanks PRY4SNO for the positive vibes!

Well so much for a solid plan to get some fubar panels replaced on my avant cheaper than a strip, fix & repaint. The seller has re-nigged on selling the panels to me. Those being the PS front fender & rear bumper. (both were damaged @ purchasing it) To me at the time it was the lesser of two evils ...

:idunno: we were talking bout about an aftermarket muffler that had the same idea. Not sure if that one is vacuum actuated or not. The aftermarket one is nice but starts to rattle after a year so eh. Run a full turbo back!


You my friend have deeper pockets than I!! I was second in line for ...

So I've received a couple PM's about my wheels where the Avantgarde is stamped on the face of each wheel & stamped BBS on the back. Here's a pic of the rear of the wheel and in the top left corner is the partial face stamped Avantgarde.

My BBS Avantgardes, have the same BBS stamp on the backside ...

themagellan...lucidmatt said you can make these functional on the B7 aka make the flaps functuonal. Are you willing?

And I know about how the internal flaps work, but can anyone tell me do I 'need' the rest of the upper exhaust?

@ B7 RS4 exhaust tips

TIA!

*Addition: in further discussions ...

Well done all around, especially on the wheels.

Looking forward to seeing the CF spoiler.

Thanks @ wheels! The CF spoiler over-lay is yet TBD. The guy I would have do it in the states is back logged ATM. But a down the road dream is to have my fish scale trim recovered by O- Carbon across the ...

Sooooo, I haven't posted in quite some time now. My rear OEM spoiler is till waiting for paint, although I had a wild thought to have it authentically carbon fiber covered! Yep, will probable cost 3x's the cost of it, but the rarity in its entirety...is intriguing to me! We'll see.

I purchased a ...

Happiness is scans for life... Glad it's all working out for you. Reliability is nice!

Hahaha! I didn't even look closely! I should have...I've owned or co-owned 6- 3b's....

Just here to give you a pat on the back and state that you have been doing an awesome job on this 42 foot undertaking! (not to leave out Ellie)

In convo's & stop by's the amount of little things & big things have been time consumers with her rehab from what I can have seen & heard. The fact you ...

In for a penny in for a pound I see! Upgrades ftw! I like the wheels no one can see...

Nice!

Wish I had stopped by to swoop up those CH's laying around...
