I honestly wouldn't say he RUINED it. I would never go for that particular gay paint scheme, but, in the pictures, IMHO, it looks like it was well done. The worst part is that he doesn't seem to care about keeping the engine clean....I think my FB looks better than that, under the hood...

The engine bay looks like crap. Especially the angle iron that seems to be holding the radiator hose up

HRm. It would be a great car with a nice black or white paint job. Price of car 200 bucks, good paint job 2000. 2200 isn't a TERRIBLE price for an s5 n/a

bookmark this thread as to show why it should never be repeated again...

both of those cars are grotesque... did you guys notice the slight flame coloration on the suicide door 7? That is the nastiest paint scheme I've seen in a VERY long time. pure awful.

Hmmm. So THAT'S the type of person we're dealing with with this one.

The angle iron is a home made engine torque brace. It links the alternator bracket to the strut tower.

That green/gold monster is an insult. I have a vert. and I would steal that car just to burn it if I knew where it was. It looks like a crackhead won the lottery and decided to "fix-up" a sports car.
