It looked so simple at first!

When I'm ready for paint I'll probably media blast the engine bay then yeah lots of sanding, sealer, primer, et al. I have some ideas for subtle body mods I'd like to do before that though. Such as extend the wheelbase front and rear (which I should be able to do with my setup) and move the wheel openings, clean up the bumpers, lower the front edge of the windshield so the roof line is flat, etc. Just a clean up of the lines without actually altering the intended shape. Mostly ideas taken from the Hot Rod realm. Who knows if I'll ever manage to get to that point though. Suspension, chassis reinforcement, electronics, and engine will be enough to keep me busy for quite a while.

I'd like to be in the 300 to 350 hp range, but even the stock REW numbers would be an improvement. I was planning to look for some S4 TII 8.5s, durability would be very high on my desirability list.
