drop it..............

[Rfugitt]

Looks pretty clean. Nice wheels too! Now paint the rest of it satin black to match, tint the windows, and lower it. It'll look like a stealth plane!

Thanks, I like the CA, nice and clean. I have plans on the paint color, but I am also feeling that satin black.

Yeah I know it needs a drop, and I can't wait for the 9293 face lift, getting the rear bumper too, either.

Plan on it, but the engine needs a tune up.

Thank you. Like I said it needs a tune up, but other than that nothing really out of the ordinary. I had to replace the rear engine mount, and I need to replace the shift linkage too, but thats it really.

It's in the DIY forum. It's straight forward enough that you really dont need it though, just make sure you have the rod that goes from the key lock to the latch from the 9293 trunk, the 9091 connecting rod is too short.

You mean like a DIY for painting?

[hs06]

ye man i want try on my trunk?

[bluecb7]

It's pretty simple, wash the trunk lid. Then sand with a finer grit (600 or so) sand in a criss cross pattern, progress to a finer grit, then finer, and continue until you think the grit is fine enough, I stopped at 1000 grit, though I plan on repainting it and going to a finer grit. Then wash it again, lay down some primer, 2 or 3 layers. Then lay down about 3 layers of color, or until you think it looks good. Let it dry, clear it if you want, I didn't.

where is the engine bay pics

It's not worthy at all, looks like a completely stock A6, even though it's an A1. Though I think the 17 years of dirt is an option lol. Once I get a chance to clean the engine bay I will get some up though.

No problem man, good luck. Just a note, if you do multiple panels like I did, make sure you prep it all the same. I didn't primer the trunk and did primer the hood, now they're slightly off in shine, one reason I am going to repaint them.
