Default It's been about 5 years - project nearing completion

I'm a bit excited to say that the project S4 I bought in the summer of 2001 w/ fire damage is getting ready to come out of the spray booth this weekend.

I like to refer to it as "Project Phoenix", but it now seems like "Project Lazarus" with how many times I've parted it out in disgust, yet only to find teh perfect parts car to get it going again.

I've been an omnicient observer over these five years and had the pleasure of selling misc parts and answering/asking questions.

I can't wait to get it on the road. Aside from it's precarious past, it should be the cleanest mostly stock Brilliant Black with 10,500 miles on the chassis and odometer.

I'm going to have a tough decision in the next few months whether to sell it (full disclosure of course) and/or start another project car <as wife picks up hatchet> or keep it.

It truly has been more of a restoration (of a MY2000, hah) than it was a repair.

Any folks local to the Pittsburgh area are welcome take a look in a few weeks.

Thank you all for your time.

Awesome. I bought some parts off you and referred others to you during your "disgust" phases
