Default Progress Pics! (56k no no)

Thanks to the help of so friends, I think my cars just about ready to start the body work, so far we've removed all the broken glass on the inside, the window, front fender, radiator (got cracked), headlight, hood, passenger side door, rear bumper, taillights and rear panel, all thats left is the quarter panel and side skirting. Oh and this was the perfect excuse to get that sunoco cowl hood and ss spoiler Ive always wanted!!

From this



To This

That looks familiar. My car was in about the same shape not too long ago. It's a long process getting back to where you want to be with it for a do-it-yourselfer.

Wow. Do what you can to keep this F-body around. I got a feeling that your Camaro is going to turn out awesome.

You can manually change gears in an A4.



And WTF happened to the car? Looks like it rolled over a couple times.

I lost control while it was sideways and hit a steel fence, I have a tach because I change my own gears in my car, and I like it .

what sucks is, is that you posted pics of your car not to much before your accident right? I like what you did to your rims cause i did the same thing about a year ago but good luck getting her back together.

as long as your not down shifting it doesnt hurt anything

but yes it can be shifted

some have a skip shift that goes from 1st to second if rpms go to high
then to third then back down to second...yes it can happen its done it in my car but my tranny is built and must have been done by the tranny place

Did you have insurance? If so why don't you let insurance take care of it?
