I can't sign in to my vortex account for some reason so I'll post here too! I want this gone so I don't have to store it again. Turn key. Zero issues...I can't stress that enough.

Obviously, a LOT of time and money has been spent to ensure this car has been maintained over the years. I feel like I have created a very good balance between style, looks, and performance; all while retaining many, if not all of the creature comforts that this vehicle came with from the factory.
I have every single reciept, price, everything for this vehicle...even the things that were done before I bought it.
The car currently has 18x8/9 BBS LMs on it, with 215/40 Falken FK452s all around. They have machined faces and raw windows, with clear top coat.
Here is my build thread:

Here is my flickr set of the car's progress:

I will get more pictures up ASAP. For now I wanted to get the ball rolling.
I have well over $25,000 into this vehicle on top of the purchase price and that is having done 95% of the work myself. There is sentimental value and I appreciate the fact that this does not transfer to a new owner but I will price it at what I feel it's worth. If you would like to buy a less expensive car and modify it as such, you are free to do so.
Will include any spare parts the new owner may want, including S4 door sills which are near impossible to come by (1 side is new 1 is used). I have a lot of spare parts...
So, that being said:
Price (as is with valid e test as of July ):
$9,500 (includes dongle for Maestro tuning suite)
$7,000 bring your own wheels!
I absolutely will NOT part this vehicle out. If it does not sell I will keep it and continue to sink money into it.
If you have ANY questions please feel free to ask. My name is Geoff, 905-409-7606
