Today I picked up a new s4 locally. I've been looking for a shell for a few months to swap everything from my s5 over. I ended up finding a running car with a pretty good body, except for the rattle can job. I payed a few hundred for the car. I ripped out most of the interior because it smelled like ****. I ended up finding a dead pregnant mouse with 6 babies behind the rear shock tower. Here are some pictures of what I've done in the few hours I've had it.

 

The picture with the shock tower and all the carpet underlay was filled with mouse droppings. They took all the padding in the car and put them in the shock towers. It was gross

 

Gross!

 

I just found today the second dead mouse that had been inhabiting my FC before I saved it from the field it was in... I still haven't got the smell completely out yet...but I'll say that Purple Power degreaser works fantastic on killing smell. Clean clean clean...pressure wash the carpet, Tuff Stuff the rest and clean everything down to the heater ducting under the dash...you never know where those bastards took a ****.
Thats what I did.

yea the smell is just disgusting. That interoir is going in the trash. If anybody needs trim pieces let me know. The back is pretty clean now I used a lot of bleach to disinfect it. Just have swap over my bins from my s5 and what not. I'll be posting pictures this afternoon.

 

Did the car have grey interior? I need a driver's side A pillar cover.

 

Ok guys, I've been pretty busy getting this thing done up. So far I have done:


Swapped my s5 interior in
S5 Tail
My Corksport exhaust
Tune Up- plugs,wires,filter,oil change.
Cleaned up the engine bay
Front Brakes (pads and Rotors) and painted my calipers
Fixed all my electrical problems due to the mise
Got the smell out of the car
Even had a custom shiftboot made my mother inlaw out of a pair of 200 boots!
