Squeaky clean S4 restoration.

Hello and welcome to my restoration thread. Don't expect anything too exciting as the car won't take much to make it presentable again. With that being said I got the car about a week ago for 1000$ and my plans are simple:
#1. Get it back to stock.
#2. See where it goes from there :P
and now what you have all been waiting for...PICS!

Mechanical issues include:
Warped rotors , blown struts and general maintenance.
Just got back from the junk yard, netted:
Passenger door vent and rear hatch support light cover.
While I was there spotted an STI and found this in the trunk.
Carbing oil catch can for 5$

Also found a kid on craigslist selling 5 lug hubs for 50$ thinking of putting these on in the rear.

I just hope the 5 lug conversion doesn't sell by this weekend and I can scoop them up so I can put these babies to use!
