Default feels good to drive the audi again..

cars been held up a few days becasue of the wheel bearing.. finally got to dirve her.. finished the install of my sterio, my two tens (round solo's) are in and some ok, the amp is tucked away and no wires can be seen at all.. most people couldnt see the amp becasue i mounted it upside down on the rear deck..
I think i fixed that ticking.. the manifold bolts were really really loose.. so now i have to cross my fingers.. going to get my catch can in to catch all the oil from my beat valve seals so the car stops smoking... that gets installed friday night..
it would have been perfect if my seat didnt rip.. the stitching came loose.. guess ill have to do a custom seat cover.. good thing my friend dose apolstry.. two tone sued and leather is in my near futer

ha.. everytime i save up a bit of money for the rebuild something breakes.. i cant do the rebuilt till it warms up a bit because the garage im going to use was just built, the lift goes in next week, and the heat 3 weeks later.. so im looking to take it apart the last week in april first week in march. Im going to replace the valves that are bad in the head, change the rods, new rings and either have a new chra put in my 28rs or sell it and buy a 2871r.. dont really know what parts i need till i take the head off, im going to go the cheap rt. and only replace what dosent look good and what is broken along with better rods..
