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 ).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

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!
