Default A4's back... let the modding begin.

I went down to my parent's house today with Zach (Thanks Zodiak!) and picked up the A4..

After giving it a detailed scrubbing this weekend (With a toothbrush), I'll still have to go by the DMV Tuesday to do the titling/registration and plate. Wednesday I'll be putting the car up on jackstands in a garage and will start to tear it down. Taking suspension/brakes/bumpers/interior/headliner out to get everything done. I have til September 24th (H2O in Ocean City) to do the majority of the stuff that's laying around.

Anyone who wants to stop by on the weekends is welcome to.

Following is a list, bought items are ready to install, DIY items need some labor to get down. I'll update this as I go.

Default Congrats, man. I'd love to "help", though that just means I'm standing out of the way :)

I'm good at opening beers (and drinking them)
