    nice stuff!

    isn't it sad/funny how nice the paint on cars are down in climates where they don't toss rocks and salt on the roads for 7 months a year haha

        Got to spend a couple of hours looking over it this evening.
        Figured out the APR programmable ecu, what a difference between modes! It goes pretty quick, and makes all of the right noises.





        Some parts that came with it!










        That's enough whoring for now!

          Looks great. Does your imola actually run and drive?

            I only ran it for a few minutes the other day. It seems to run fine, but isn't very mobile. The steering barely turns.

                    Trying to decide on wheel specs. I was thinking 18x9.5 et20 which is very similar to what I had on the yellow one.
                    Considering Miro 563 in matte black.

                        I think what'll happen is the Imola will get stripped of anything worth keeping, and taken for scrap.

                        I see myself keeping:
                        Bumper
                        Hood
                        Front Fenders
                        Suspension
                        Engine & 01E (swap parts)
                        ECU & Loom
                        Cluster
                        All those little temperamental modules (ABS & Airbag)
                        Interior beltline trim
                        S4 door trims and sill plates

                        That is it really...
                        Coolant and brake fluid reservoirs, if they're like new; they tend to yellow over time.

                        Keep the axles too. Don't take up much space and the OEM ones are way better quality than aftermarket.

                        Also, maybe the d/s window regulator and the window and sunroof motors. If the rear view mirror glasses are in good shape, those eventually go bad too.
