Time to start working on it again!!!
well my white fc is currently chillin until I get my list of part that I am "keeping" off of it and parts I will be selling, but if anyone is interested in some parts pm me and I'll let you know if I will be selling them or keepin them
need to get a new mirror piece for the side mirror
going to finish clearing everything out of there and put all my parts in boxes so I can start wire brushing the entire inside of the car to remove the tar and do some welding this winter

tar removal
For those who took the same route as me and decided to use a heat gun to remove the sound deadening material please pay attention..
before
after
With just 5 minutes of letting the 3m stuff sit. I was able to remove a majority of that black tar crap left over from my brilliant heat gun/scrapper idea
good stuff. I plan on using more to remove all the tar then I can start welding up some holes and stuff then prep then paint

Looks like a great project you have going on! Looking forward to see where you are headed with it.

And thanks long process but will be worth it in the end. I think once I start getting into the motor more people will tune in. Lol

Right now I'm in the process of dismantling the s5 and separating the parts I'm keeping and parts I'm either selling or throwing away.
Long process but I'm labeling each part putting them in bags (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) to make sure I know what to do with them as I get my s4 ready for the parts to be swapped

Warning!!!! Pay attention to lugs!!!!!
So...Today I felt like putting the three new lugs that MAX sent out for me since the others seemed to be cut wrong or wrong threading (not to mention F*##ed up one of my ARP studs
) and came to find a very disturbing thing....
notice the color difference...
thats because one is not even aluminum
since when does aluminum hold a magnet?
and if it is supposed to be "aluminum" then why did I not get "aluminum" lugs the first time!!!!
