Teaser shot of the motor

Teaser Just finishing up on a couple things before it goes back in!
Finishing the wire tuck and brake line tuck, having the engine bay shaved and resprayed. Finishing up the interior (completely gutting it). No radio, No heat, NO ac, NO power steering, No carpet, NO ABS, Oem wiring GONE, etc.

Sending the trany and TC out to get rebuilt as soon as uncle sam gives me what he owes me.

And waiting on a really good deal on a set of wilwoods for the front.

Hope you like:

Looks really clean can't wait to see that engine bay though. You should share the info on where you decided to hide things at and what not.

audi santorin blue, I sold my s4 a month ago so I wanted to do a lil tribute to a car that gave me a lot of good years. Im planning on painting my rpf1's the same color.

It'd be tough to help since I completely re-wired the whole car, No more OEM harness behind the dash what so ever.



Ill get more pics this week

what kind of build is it?? internals?? also, what was the process you used to paint the valve cover? its is made of magnesium so i think there is a special way to do it? or did you just put paint on top of the original paint.
