I've been on the forums (mostly lurking) for a few years now, but have posted a few pictures of an a4 that I own and have been building over the past 6 or so years.
I thought I'd show you my most recent project. I don't want to call it a build, as I consider a build to be much more than I'm doing with this, nor will it be a showcar because again, my feelings on what makes a showcar are also much more than this car will have.
Picked up this white mk1 TT coupe in mid October. I wanted something comfortable to daily (I'm small, so yes it's comfy haha) and I've always wanted a TT since they first came out, so I decided to finally pull the trigger.
Pic of the car when I got her (hasnt changed, yet)
I decided air ride was the route I wanted to go, because I want to be able to drive around downtown PDX without worrying, but able to drive low when I want to.
Picked up airlift slam XL front struts and rear bags
I decided to pickup some Avant Garde M140 wheels, which were finished in machined silver
Butttttt...I didn't want a white car with silver wheels, so I decided to do something a little out there and powdercoat then in an anodized red finish.
For management I ordered Airlift Easystreet autopilot v1, which arrived on Saturday. I will begin mapping out my management setup this week sometime. I will be powdercoating the tank to and then will begin installation, then figure out my wheel fitment and order the spacers I'll need to get to the offset/poke I want. I also am planning to shave/smooth the front bumper, as well as respray the rockers before summer.
And for the hell of it, this is the a4. I have it completely tore down right now as I'm swapping in a vr6 that is bored to a 3.0L, t67 turbo and a TON of custom fabbed, one-off parts. I'm also shaving the bay and doing a wire tuck in the process.
I'll post more pictures of the install along the way! Thanks for looking.
