Detailer's Domain's - 2001 Audi S4 Restoration and Build

In the 2nd video, the guy shooting the video said "... practically built and polished." Does he know what you do for a living?

 

yes he's or go to body shop he brings all his cars to us. its a body shop wetsand and compound, I'm 100% sure we will have to strip the glaze and do a full correction on the car.

 

Phil,

The car look awesome. Great Color and your attention to detail is perfect. Enjoy it in the best of Health!

 

Incredible Phil! Looking forward to updates!

Thinking about ST's as coilovers or KW V3's any feedback would be great.

 

A few iphone shots at pick up.

 

looks great! congrats Phil!

 

This looks sweet Phil! How does it ride now? I love the suspension on Audis.

 

Phil, looking great, can't wait until your final touches are on.

 

I would definitely go with something that has dampening ability. Not sure if you will ever track your car but if so, it's always a nice option to have. Seems like your doing a quality build and I feel entry level ST coilovers would not suffice for the perfection your striving for (not to say that ST's aren't great coilovers, they are the same as KW V1's without the stainless steel bodies). From the looks of your other Audi, you prefer a mild and sophisticated drop. My 2 cents, can't go wrong with KW, H&R, or Bilstein

 

Congrats Phil. Looks awesome!

 

You make way to much money!!! Cobblestone driveway and rebuilding 12 year old german cars! : Im getting out of volume work. Phil the car looks like its coming along fantastic. I always wanted to do this with a car. I have an old Fiat that needs some loving, but with my weight and rusted floor boards. Ill fall threw..

 

Barry,

Thanks! Stay tuned more cool stuff on the way, unfortunately I drove an EPL stage 3 car putting 392 at all 4 wheels last night.......that wasn't a good idea.

 

more goodies arrived today.



all B5's look much better with these.




to get this build right all the little details were needed to be done, new shift knob - RS4 Race Air


before/after



installed


stay tuned for more....

 

I love it. LOVE it. When another human realizes that "less is more" and a simple attention to simple small details, done in the RIGHT way, all add up to a phenomenal end result. SO REFRESHING to know that there's other people out there that understand that UNDERSTATED & clean is the way to build an incredible ride.......great job Phil.

 

the ride is ehhh when you compare it to the newer Audis, the B6/B7 chassis was stiffer and more smooth, the B8 which I just sold was much tighter and sorted out.

I'm trying to figure out which coil overs I'll be getting sway bars. Should clean it up a bit.

 

thanks I appreciate that.
