Re: Not my bag... welcome... is that a Land Rover taillight I see?
Yup. Its a family member's 96 Range Rover. Its a great vehicle, and way classier than any new SUV. He just converted it to coil springs this summer.

Re: And used high quality lights, say off of a Ferrari.. not $5 utility trailer lights.
I'm sure you'll love to know that the internal frame is cardboard! I wonder how much ferrari taillights would cost... but yeah that would be the way to go. Ones with the lens that protrudes an inch or two instead of having a big black rubber gasket around the edge.

Yep!
That was me! I almost called you this spring when I crashed this silver 100... I was going to see if an enthusiast would want it for parts, you mentioned that you have had several Audis. I still have your business card. Instead I repaired the car, and it cost more than the value of it...long story... ahem
Right now I drive a brown/maroon (don't know the real color name) 90 V8 which some of you might recognize as previously owned by Jim Blau, its got 255,000 miles on it and is stil going strong. I posted in the forced induction forum last night but nobody's replied so far... I am thinking of boosting the V8. Apparently its possible.. even with 10.6 compression? I wonder, how much power the automatic handle?

Re: Yep!
At the time I had lots of parts. but I've been trying not to be such a packrat.....I do however still have a spare hood, bumper, all four doors, both fenders, and a trunklid. you can never be too carefull
boosting a v8 is a big project. idk what the audo can handle. But if I were going for power like you are, I would definatly do the 5 speed swap.
My AIM is Audimanadam if you need some parts still or anything like that.

Not quite what I'd have done / did... but everyone's got their own thing...
But then again, for the first year I was here I got **** for being a "ricer" as well. 'meh, we all make mistakes.
Was that the finished product? looks like the 1/4's a bit rough... then again, may just be the lighting.
