Looks great Matt. You know how to find them that's for sure. I'm interested to know what the plans are for it.

Thanks Zach.... Gonna be a slow build.. Nothing crazy...
Suspension, Brakes, 17x11's out back ( matching silver ZR1's), Yank SS3600, cooler, LS6 intake,ported TB, smallish cam... G5X1E or G5X2, long tubes, Borla, UD pulley, tint, SLP SS grill, ( hard to find) Whistler mod on the HL, ... Thinking that will about do it... These are great cars and as you know I can't go long w/o one... It should be my last 4th gen Fbod. Really like the NBM SS....

Brother, I looked ALL over the US for a nice unmolested 4th gen Fbod... Hard top was definitely a consideration. For what I paid for this car and for what I am getting, I could not pass this up... CARFAX shows maint since 1/99... Like you guys, I have owned more of these than I can count. All very nice cars. The NBM on tan interior sold me. An M6 Hard top would have been cool. and I found a few BUT they were USED up... Thanks for the kind words guys... Gotta admit a nicely "stalled" A4 is a fun car!!

You sir have a good memory.... Actually I picked up my 08Z for my bday last year (Feb 17). You know... the bone stock idea is not a bad one... I'll definitely beef up the suspension, add the Borlas, long tubes and a stall, LS6 intake, cai...tune, and cosmetics... ( tint, SLP SS grill, Depo HL, HID's HL/fogs) and the 17x11's... It would be a simple, fun little car with those things alone.. I'd really like a nice sleeper cam.. (G5X1E)...

We'll see what happens... I'll have the car on the 2nd.... Pics to follow. Thanks for the kind words, encouragement guys.

Very nice Z- I would keep it relatively stock- or at least make everything look very stock. Headers, converter and a cam make for a fun car.
