Body and Paint Work
by Matt on May.16, 2011, under Repairs
Almost 2 years ago I had a minor front end accident. At the time I repaired the mechanic bits and put bandaid stickers over the dented body work.
That was “good enough” for then and the bandaids got a bunch of laughs. But I’d grown tired of a haggard car.
My friend owned a silver S4 that was rear ended and available for parts, so I pulled the front end off.
Hood transplant
Freshened up for the cruise to Great Lakes GTG a few weeks ago (ignore Casey). Also, new wheels (pictures soon).
So that took care of the front end. The rear end also needed some attention. The rear bumper & 1/4 panel needed a respray and the trunk had some rust coming through around the license plate frame & lights. Off to paint:
Finished pics coming soon!

Automotive Masochism
I am a B5 S4 owner that operates under the delusion that a single car can be comfortable, attractive, and fast. Join me as I journal the repairs, maintenance and mods of my S4 in the attempt to realize a possibly unobtainable goal.
