Hello all, just started my latest project so I figured I'd post a thread to document the progress! I've had a couple VAG cars before this, a MKIV VW Golf (my first car, still have it actually) and a B5 A4 1.8T Quattro that I bought not running for $900 and rebuilt
a4 (1 of 1)-18
Link to Build Thread Here
The car was fun but it was becoming more of an ongoing project than a daily even after the initial rebuilt as the PO really neglected it, so I sold it and switched to BMW with a 2007 530xi. 6MT Sport Package, had 164k miles at the time of purchase but you would've never known. One owner fully documented dealer service history since new.

I absolutely adored this car. I planned on keeping it for a very long time, but life had other plans and a couple weeks ago I got in an accident which left the car destroyed beyond repair. This brings me to the replacement!
So decided I wanted something a little newer with lower mileage (the BMW had 180k when I lost it), my dad and I had rebuilt a salvage title MK7 GTI for him that we got from an insurance auction and it resulted in a nearly new car with under 10k miles for under $10k. I decided to do the exact same thing, but was having trouble finding a GTI suitable for rebuild, and then we stumbled upon this A4. I've always liked the B8/8.5 (my mom has a 2012 B8) and this one had all the right options so I jumped on it! figured I outta save a life to make up for the BMW haha
The day it was picked up from IAAI
My two mangled Germans (BMW is currently being parted out)
The car is a Monsoon Grey 2013 A4 Premium Plus with 57k miles. It has the Sport Package (a must have IMO), MMI Navigation, Audi Advance Key, B&O sound system, an most importantly, a 6-speed manual gearbox. From what I can tell the PO hit a deer.
My plans are to repair the car and get it looking as close to showroom fresh as I can on my meager college budget, then do a few mods here and there as well once the repairs are all squared away.
The main things the car needs
-Passenger Headlight
-Hood Purchased
-Hood Hinges
-Passenger Fender Purchased
-Bumper Purchased
-Grill Purchased
-Core Support Purchased
-Radiator Purchased
-Fender Rail repair
Stay tuned for some progress coming soon!
