B6 S4 gets a little wider

What can you do in 12 hours? How about swapping 75% of the body panels on a B6 S4? This trip to JMI was quite rewarding as I was able to replace all the doors, remove the front core support, replace both front fenders, gut the interior, and remove the rear bumper.

With the vehicle in service position I thought it would be a good time to do some maintenance and mods. Valve cover gaskets, JHM intake manifold spacers, JHM lightweight crank pulley, JHM heater elbow bypass, and a new water pump and thermostat all ended up in the car. I’m also relocating the Optima Yellow Top battery to the passenger-side trunk which should help balance out the weight of my sub all-the-while removing weight from the front of the car.

Anyway, here’s the progress so far…not bad for one guy and 17 hours! (If he must say so himself – Dion)
