The Project Pad

names Patrick, live in pennsylvania. been in audis since i was in high school. the B5 is where i started out, a 1.8t to be exact, have a mk3 vr6, got rid of the a4 for a b5 s4. been working on them mine and the wife's as she also has one, have a 90 mk2 jetta gl and recently just picked up what i hope to be my project car. 1992 S4 here she is.







you can also see part of my obs ford 7.3 in the last picture.

here is one with my b5 in it. and our mk2 in garage



here is my wife's b5, we recently did a lot of maintenance to it. (new clutch, metal slave, solid motor/trans mounts, full timing belt job, every seal under the valve cover, and a very through cleaning.)





so, im not new to the VAG scene.
hope if i need any help ill be able to find it here.

Welcome! Looking forward to updates on your rides... have any plans on where you're going with them?

And also, what the hell is up with the slanted horizon on your all of your photos? I got a serious case of taco neck looking at them haha

haha taco neck. yeah now that you say it, it must be habit. i have plans for all of them. if they get there they get there, the wifes car just needs to stay maintained and clean, hers has a tune and exhaust and its on coilovers so the standard stuff. my b5 is pretty much the same, i'd like to build it but since its such a problematic motor to try and get anything near 500hp out of i opted to get into the 5 cylinder crowd. I've wanted to get one for quite a while now and the right one came along. the jetta has been totally rebuild. every bushing replaced, every gasket, it had its head gone through and added a pretty big cam. no power steering or a/c so for being an 8v its pretty quick, and fun to drive. the ford is my hauler, to get whatever i need it to get.

Nice to see someone else from PA. What part are you from? I'm down in York.

down by you is where all the action seems to be in PA, I'm up in the poconos between allentown and scranton, near mount pocono if you are familiar with the area up here.

yeah there is a descent amount of us near the PA/MD line. I have a general idea of where you are, nice area.

can anyone tell me how to remove the upper part of the rear seats? i have a really nice set of seats from a 95.5 s6 that i'd like to put in, since my original head rests have seen better days and my driver seat is ripped.

S6 headrest mounts are different width, won't fit. If you haven't already, take a browse through the FAQ on quattroworld.com, it's a fantastic resource.

At any rate, the way to remove the rear bench back is to pull up like a bastard once the bottom bench is removed.

After you have removed the headrests of course.

Welcome, 2nd on the qw faq.
