Doesn't look bad, honestly can't be worse than the kid trying to basically build a car from scratch in here lol. I like the look of the clean engine bay.
IMO unless your car is collector tier status repaint or partial repaint isn't a huge issue. For collector purposes I get it but if you've already modded your car in any way and the mileage isn't low that ship has sailed. My car was in an accident at one point, I know the bumper, hood, and...
I think another factor is the market is starting to cool. People are rushing to try and get max value while they can. Have you seen any of the ones posted for sale in the Facebook groups lately? A lot of them are ridiculously priced, like over BaT pricing which is generally on the high end...
Even with a lot of that money I think I would do something mild and just build an all-around fun car. I am more of a backroad driver so having a great suspension, brakes, nice lightweight set of wheels would be good. Maybe something around 500 whp would be more than enough. I am boring though lol
Feel like that is a good buy, I paid a bit less for my DSG Vert with more miles. There have been some low mileage coupes that have sold for way more than that on BaT. I know at least when it comes to my 996 911 the coupe vs vert makes a huge difference in pricing.
This is where I am at. Rep wheels from a reputable company aren't usually an issue these days. I love the CCW and BC Forged but I am also somewhat budget conscious. If I can spend $1500-$2000 on a set of reps and nice rubber I would rather put the rest into a suspension refresh. I had a...
100% worth it. I ceramic-coated the wheels on my 996 911 after having them redone. Legit still looks brand new every time I clean them. Just a little soap and wheel brush or mf towel. I also detail cars for a living and I've coated many cars and parts of cars. Just had a coated Audi A4 in...
I feel like a big driver these days of projects like this is youtube. I am not saying in this case specifically but there are a ton of channels that buy cars that have no business being repaired and they repair them. It makes sense for them because they make money, I enjoy watching it but...
Picked up the car from the shop. The rear end was pulled and seals replaced and fluid changed along with an alignment. Nice to have that taken care of!
Got my car over to my mechanic. Diff is leaking from every seal LOL so I guess I know where my leak is. Maybe I shouldn't have ordered that exhaust lol.
