Impressive work! Especially in the amount of time spent cleaning and painting everything. That and tackling a wiring nightmare.

Man! don't hate on the "Quattro of dilapidation"!! It's had a hard life! These cars (B2's) have a few weak spots (power window mechanism, door handles, odometer, etc.), but for the most part, run forever. I've beat the hell out of the coupe on the track and it's held up remarkably well, especially for a 30 year old car with 300,000+ miles on it!!

Moar stuff for the racecar (AKA: blew all my financial cookies, aka: got a new credit card)

Pulled a 20v "7A" back in April. Found another 7A at my local junkyard, was only able to pull the head, I'll use it as a spare if need be... Found a good deal on a used "Spec" aluminum flywheel. Found a good deal on a used 034 "1C" EFI ECU! And... last but not least: Found a GREAT deal on a used "AAN" turbo, ex. manifold, wastgate, intercooler, downpipe, oil and coolant lines....

I've only ever called for quotes on replacement, I had no idea they would let you buy the glass directly from them. Then again, the last time I was looking for a windshield I had to go to a yard and pull the glass myself because no one had the glass or wanted to touch a 68'.
