Piece of crap

ok,
so i wanted to hold off making this till i had the engine and other stuff in my possession but i figured it is probably not a bad idea to start now to keep track of all the work that has to be done up until that point.
Car is an 00 B5 S4. The goal, remove the front heavy 2.7 and drop in an 07K. I figure if i can get the weight down up front, reduce the unsprung weight also at the front and remove the heavy Recaro interior, I should have a pretty cool street fighter/weekend warrior. Friend of mine got hit at about 15mph. The damage is nearly nothing except for the tow truck driver that skull dragged the car over a median strip, i'll get to that later. This would have never have been possible without David (my friend), so he will definitely get the first drive when it's all done.
So
07K
01E
Manifolds from hank
Standard Bosch ME7.1 ECU
Standard harness
Working AC
Factory like install
400hp
The car is actually quite a rare colour, Achat Grey :
The car got hit at about 15mph. The damage is nearly nothing except for the tow truck driver that skull dragged the car over a median strip, i'll get to that later.
So the front right wheel had some toe out, something was obviously bent. I removed the lower control arms to which there was no change in the toe. I did some basic measuring of the distance between the tire and the upright and it seemed to be equal on both sides. I've bought a new front control arm kit and tie rods, if it turns out to be the upright, then i only have to swap the front lca to make the b6 alloy uprights work. I got some new front axles for a killer price. The lower door hinge was pushed in ever so slightly too, I will need to pull that out and hang the door again.
Retrimmed the headliner since it was sagging.
Now, the skulldragging part. I knew there was some damage.. I pulled back the carpet after taking the seats out... Definitely need some guidance with this part. I am thinking ill just cut a section from an a4 at the wreckers and weld it in on this one.
Also David gave me a BRAND NEW rack that he just happened to have sitting around.. Came brand new in the box from Audi.
New door and guard.
The old heavy Recaros that will make way for the ADR Approved Velo Seats, not sure how im going to get them on the stock sliders but ill figure that out later:
So tomorrow, I need to put the headliner back in, get the rest of the carpet out of the car and take some measurements to see how bad the floorpan is then cut that, weld that, bash that, buy that, built that, plumb that etc..
Hopefully have it done by the end of the year. I actually need to call the transport department and see what the is with putting and 07K in my car, they were never released here in AU. The cops are dumb as shit so i might even just leave all the 2.7 numbers on stuff.. who knows.
