Default I'm kind of a new guy...

Hi Everyone,

I've actually been a member here since 2006, but used the site as a resource and didnt really post at all. I've decided to make a new account and hopefully be a productive member this time around...

I just bought a 2001 WS6 project car. Its complete but has a popped motor (lq9) which I'm going to be replacing and then likely turbo-ing. I'm hoping to have this on the road by the end of April - so finger's crossed on that... I'm actually VERY optimistic because a lot of the work will be done at a friend's shop (I currently have very limited free time)

Anyway, here is what really matters... its a pic of the car the day after I picked it up.. it needs a lot more work than you can tell in the pic, but for now we can pretend its mint
