shop in King of Prussia PA. Too much damage for them to do within the car's value, so a total. But if you need body work done of the best quality, and can afford the time and $$, Karosserie is the ticket.

Cars I saw there, Ferrari 599 (yes), Stradale, couple of 308's, Exige S, a Lambo, one or two Maseratis, and old racing Jag, on and on.

So much eye candy :-)

of exotics that are always laying around there is just unbelievable

I have no doubt they are capable of some fine work, and the cars that go in and out of there are evidence enough. I just think an Audi going through their shop doesn't get treated with the same attention to detail as the others. Looking at Andy's avant, I would expect that kind of work coming out of a mediocre shop. Attention to detail was not there.

Now what the hell happened to your car??? :-(

being less than stellar.

Best as I can figure out, snap oversteer on throttle lift = ditch racing. 2nd gear

I'm OK, no airbags deployed, but driver's front rail pushed in, lots of sheet metal bent/warped, front and rear bumpers torn up, dent in trunk lid, pass headlight torn out, driver's fog and IC shroud torn out. :-(

So what are you going to do? Part it out or find another B5 to shove the motor into?

what happened? wide-body

or, if his has a lot of milees... then find a mint car and go the other way. tranfer the turbos, etc. to it.

Basic idea - pull my motor, finish the work (rostens, 2.8 heads, RS4 intake cams maybe, freshen it up with new main bearings, etc.), then put it into a little newer one (like with ESP), then finish with custom tune.

Kind of depends on what I end up with. Folks have been offering up S3- cars.

But I need to start with getting a daily driver to get to work with while my motor is getting built.

no wide body with frame rail damage, not worth fooling with
