Post before and after pictures of your FC.

I think it'd be interesting to see how people's cars looked when you first purchased them compared to now. I know mine has come a long way and is getting better by the day.

Let's see how much your hard work has improved your baby!

In chronological order...

The day I got it home.


Interior Shot.


About a month later, stickers removed, painted up the shitty S5 base wheels.


About 2 months ago.


New coat of Blaze Red.


Last weekend at a local car show with Kerry Middleton's 87 GXL. No the paint isn't faded already, it only looks orangy in the sun and the previous pics were taken with a much better camera.


More, first engine bay pic I took, full emissions removal, electric ports.


Added the S4 TII Wheels, good rubber showed up 2 days after this show.


Me and Kerry with our Toys.


Interior Now, added black seat covers to eliminate more of the grey, new CD player, new floor mats, stock S5 shift **** and gave it the first cleaning it saw for a very long time...



Thats everything I've done since I got the car last September, next up is new suspension, new windshield and a front lip followed by the ever popular TII swap in the winter.

I know I practicaly downgraded with the looks, but in performance I upgraded alot. After this picture was taken, soon after the coolant seals went and I had it sitting for 2 years.



This was after the jspec rebuild and install.




he is a large pic of the front with the top down, sorry car was dirty *** hell.



And the final engine shot, where it stands now. except I added an lt8s and no more ugly stock wiring and afm.
