So those that don't know the story on the car.I bought it in march of '03 from a wrecker with a clean title and absolutly the cleanest FB body I have seen anywhere for $600.Turns out it was a GSL and they already swapped the manual pedals in it and put -SE suspension in it but never finished the project(Little do they know what power its going to have now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... ).I got it towed here and saw that the gas tank was inside the car and it was stripped down to a bare shell and all that was left was a brown carpet.Since then I have spent about $15,000 after everything is said and done and there is little left to do to get it to run.But I just bought a house so its on hold right now.Check out my garage for the list of stuff I bought for it mods wise.Within the first month I had the motor in it and ready to go.Everything else has been time consuming.Esepecially putting in a red interior into a S3 when my only other 7 was a S2.Now heres what I started with

I still need to weld the steel in to shave off the side markers.Trim is coming off the sides after I am finished moving into my house.What do you guys think

The project looks great man, can't wait to see the end result. It looks like you've put a lot of time in! ....as for starting with "the cleanest body FB" I dunno. That thing looked pretty rough at the start!

I like it, it's the first whole car I've seen with the CP Racing lights. It'll look badass when it's done.



Keep the pics coming, especially after installing the sideskirts-is that the Mazdatrix kit?

For a moist climate like this it's as clean as it comes.
