LilJoe,
outstanding engine bay, nice work and your ride looks great, best white S I've seen in a long time.
I know to get it as far as you have has taken it, requires allot of time and money, buy it paid off for sure...

Dare I ask how hard, and expensive these were to find? I remember when first saw this setup on your car a while back,it blew my mind. I'd seen it a few times on Some Euro whips, but never though I would have sen it on an S2. I still like it a lot.

i can finally post here! been busting ass on my bay since my car has been down for paint anyway. I just randomly decided to tuck it. I shaved my last car, and for now the S will not be shaved. Spot welded brackets removed, yes, but shaved no, at least not now. As for the tuck, it is done. I am waiting on paint as i need to drive it over to the paint shop. The car as it sits in the pic, runs, everything is full functional, cruise control, etc, and i WILL keep the washer bottle as well just to say i did it and that everything works. I have full detailed pics of all my progress but this is where i am at now, and i will update as it gets painted. i can post previous progress pics if anyone wants. When it gets to the paint shop i will do some minor tweaks like hide the washer bottle, flip the brake booster, etc but not much more. all my wiring and fab work is mostly done.

Gallardo wheels are Audi spec arent' they? 5x112?

So this guy must have re-drilled them for the 5x114.3 lug and then you have to worry about offsets! I admit they look pretty sweet (A+ for effort) but I wonder how strong these wheels would be after all the modifications....
