Ok had the opportunity to do some more on the car and found a few not so fun things that need to be done. One I'm actually selling off the hood that is on the car and replacing it with the aluminum one off of my other FC. Finally getting that reverse vent I wanted. However I'm doing the S5 swap to the car and in order to do that I have to pull the old bumper and all. Easy right, wrong...every bolt I came across was completely overtaken by rust. Most sheered off others had to be grinded, some you couldn't even tell were bolts in the first place. So I decided to replace all the bolts with either new ones (if I can find them and I like them) or just using ones I can get from the junk yard. I'll take pictures when I get a moment. The second thing I came across was that one of the wheels wasn't straight when the steering wheel was completely straight. Turns out that the tie rod on the passenger side (driver to the US car) is damage so the wheel is out of alignment and out of place. Also it's missing the bracket for the sway bar so I have to find one of those as well.
