It's got the winter rims on it right now.

Turbo'd from the factory.. going to put on EFI sometime in the near future and crank the boost.

Clean it up a bit more and it would be sweet. Plus the missing corner light trim.

Yeah, it needs a wax and some cleaning.

the corner reflector and chrome is missing because I just installed the european lights, and I still need to modify that side to work with them.

the DOT headlights for the car seriously suck ass, and the european ones have a nice sharp cutoff and replaceable lenses.. night and day difference

Smoking reds? Do you hate yourself or something?

Paint is looking good, but that interior needs a wipe-down. Its in awesome shape for a 15 year old car, though.

I don't know, I never really liked light cigarettes. May as well bring on the full flavour death.

They actually don't sell marlboros here, believe it or not.. I had them imported

Yeah, I need to do some work. The first owner had the car coated with "diamond-kote", so thats probably why the paint is in reasonably good shape.
Also Audi has an awsome rustproofing process.. all panels are galvanized - there was hardly any surface rust on the suspension even!

So far I replaced struts and brake pads + rotors, rebuilt and painted the calipers, painted any suspension that was wearing through on coating.. etc.

But damn - I bought a pint of the paint, and i think it was $70!!.. the last car I bought paint for (metallic silver) was only about $30 a pint.. iirc. Red is pricy I guess.

Quattro is awsome though - First winter ever without getting stuck once

edit: pint == quart
