Default New T/A

Heres my new red 99 I picked up last night, I swapped the chrome rims to the WS6 because the tires were awful. Needs a tranny mount and a few minor things, and has 136k on it. Not bad for $3500.

Needs some minor things, I just changed the trans mount (A4) and it came off in 2 pieces. One window doesn't come down either. Oh well, now I have a car to drive to work while I build the other one.

Now I just need a cat-back for it, it sounds so lame next to my WS6 with the TD's and long tubes.

Runs really strong surprisingly. I put my lid, PnP throttle body and maf from the WS6 on it. I feel like the tranny doesn't have a lot of life left in it but I'll be swapping a T56 into it. I'll be putting new brakes on it later today and a new water pump so hopefully it will last a while.

It was a good deal, I'm glad I grabbed it. It needs the front and rear bumpers painted and then I'll go ahead and do the ceta back bumper and paint the roof bar black.
