Tomorrow the vert and I get special "wax-on, wax-off" time together. Gonna wash it, use some rubbing and polishing compounds and give it some fresh wax. How much it cleans up will determine what happens with it.

 

V8 isn't a big deal to me (duh) but turning a nice car into a drift car just seems a waste. Those guys on average take worse care of vehicle condition than anyone else I've ever seen. Find someone that appreciates the car.

 

Car is buffed and waxed. It cleaned up quite nicely. Gonna go grab some late lunch and then I'll get some pics up.

 

Here it is cleaned up. I didn't spend much time on the hood or front bumper because those are going to be painted black and put on the black vert.












One of the flaws in the paint. Previous owner spilled something caustic..maybe brake fluid?


Also from previous owner, they scrapped along something


It'll have a black N/A vert hood and a black front bumper.

 

...It'll buff out. C'mon man, an S5 vert deserves better. Ship it to Florida

 

^After I figure out what it's worth I'll post up a F/S thread.

BUT it will be awfully convenient to take the no engine vert to the friend's shop, swap all the turbo parts (diff, driveshaft, fuel pump), stereo, alarm, gauge wiring, suspension etc) put them on the black vert when the rebuild goes in. Leave the red vert at the shop as-is and part it out from the shop.
