The Project Pad

You have outdone yourself!! Incredible!!

Nice work Jim, that came out great!

That looks awesome man!

My favorite pics are the before and after you took from the rear of the car at almost the exact same angle. That's cool to see.

Very cool!

Still maintaining sleeper-ish status.

looks great!! I think you can fit more than 275 under there

MEGA nice work

Very nice work... they look like they came from the factory.

Amazing work! Thanks for the recap.

Remind to me to NEVER park my car next to yours! Amazing!

So effing sick. That is beautiful. Wanna do my Ginster next?

Thanks guys, the factory comments are exactly what I was hoping to hear I was a long project, but I could not be happier with the results! The before and after pics are what I have been waiting for, I have an after that used a flash, but the one without really showed of the lines!

looks so good, both of the wheel sets look fantastic on it as well.

yes, it looks factory tidy Jim. I like the approach to the car - you continue to hone the car. It is a nice solid, straight forward, fun, car ready for battle. good work.

Beautiful. Did you drive around after the it was all done? Just hope that leading edge of the rear well doesn't rub...can't wait to see this car and hop in for a ride soon.

it looks real clean! i hope you get the chance to paint before BBQ3. Any chance of bumping the rear wheels back a inch? perhaps different control arms/ball joints that would move it back, or even the 034 subframe bushings to add offset?

I think the picture next to the A6 is the money shot!

I totally agree Hank! Jim, nice work buddy, looks freakin fantastic!

Yeah, I plan on moving them back about another 1/2" or so with the subframe bushings, and a little more adjustment of the control arms.

thanks Jim! You're a solid contributor of quality content on this forum and I love your car. Keep it up!

My first crack at making FG molds. The idea is to mold the parts that are irreplaceable like the front fender flares and the bumper flares. Then if I need to later I can make new plugs for full on molds, but will not have to deal with storing them until the time comes. I don't think I'll do anything with the rears since they will always be metal, but the fronts would be nice to replace with a CF or FG version if I get really ambitious some day. Haydn, thanks for the tips, I used wax and PVA and they popped right off with no chips!

Nice Jim! PVA is the shit isn't it?

Glorious work.

Another vote for the factory look.

Maybe it was mentioned, but what are the "future street wheels" They look amazing... how wide are they?

Oh, you should get a set of these! http://homepage.internet.lu/customautoc ... S2_RS2.htm

It's officially back on the road! I decided to hit Buttonwillow raceway tomorrow as a shakedown for a busy couple of months at the track. Spring mountain, laguna Seca and thunderhill are all on the list

Looking sharp. Cant wait to see what comes next.

Jim=quality. I expect nothing less from you!
