Hey Everyone
I decided to join for some F/I help, but I've been lurking here for a while.
It's a great board, and less drama-filled than others. I am skilled in fabrication, suspension, electrical, and appearance. So, I'll be contributing as much as I can.

Yeah, but I actually have two.
I have:
95 3.4 M5
99 3.8 A4
I'm trieng to get help/info on boosting the 3.8. Although I've only got one view.
The 95 is in rough shape and unfinished. The 98 was finished in August, right before my birthday. I say "finished" as they were both adopted wrecks. I have tons of pics of the 98, but only progress pics on the 95.
A few shots of "Mandy", my 99
I just put her in hibernation today, so stage 2 could begin. Stage 1 was everything you see in the pics. I have the wreck pictures but none scanned.
Let's just say she didn't look to good in several places.
I bought her for 2,500 fully loaded, and with only 35k on the clock. Cleanest car (other than the wreck damage) I'd ever seen. I have about 5000 in her total. Completely paid off, and modified with lots of goodies. Ultra-Z hood, Halos, whisper lid etc. etc. I even shaved the antenna, and removed the side trim. Looks alot smoother, almost porsche like, haha.
All body/frame/paint work was done by myself. All replacement parts were brand new GM parts from the Dealership. (other than hood, halos, and my custom made brackets) I have awesome connections and can get parts at cost most times.
Thanks for the welcome guys.

looks like I do have one (crappy) wreck pic scanned, whoops.
Not shown is quarter panel damage, rear bumper damage and extensive inner nose and radiator support damage.
I removed and modified a 95 radiator support from a junkyard, for the 99. GM will tell you they are totally incompatible. They lie, it was a easy conversion to do.

It took TONS of work to get it to fit that good, and it almost cost me my sanity. I had to modify 38 points/items on the car to get it to fit.
Talking to other Ultra-Z owners, this isn't rare. But to be fair, the wreck repair and new parts, probably made it more complicated.
But I love it now, and it's MINE MINE MINE. It will go good with my AA smooth grill I'm getting, and the C6 wheels. So, sorry.. your about 10 months too late.
I can let you sniff the box though!
