Default Getting b4 sedan= thinking like Mance=hmmmmmm=aluminum

<center><img src="http://www.dreamsauto.com/images/audi5/6.jpg"></center><p>Well not really, certainly I'm not as ... well u know.


So how much weight would I save Mance? More importantly. This would lower the weight of the sedan in the rear correct? I never went to school for this stuff. So I don't have the right words to explain this stuff. Self taught mechanic here. How do I compare this thought. Something like deleting the sunroof puts the weight of the car lower in the chassis. This would do the same too?

If you have to ask I've seen one pic online of this on a B4 sedan. To the extent of what's necessary to get it to work? I don't know.

Would I consider doing it? Depends on how much one of these suckers goes for these days.

Do I honestly care? Eh... not soo much.

The 20vT engine will satify my need. Fortunately for me two 20VT swaps, a job, and a girlfriend keep me busy enough.

Thanks
Josh

The Trunk is aluminum for those who didn't figure it out yet.

Default pic I saw online:

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/19850/grillen020.jpg"></center><p>After looking at Scargo's (something like so) image gallery. I noticed that above the tailights look to be at a different angle than the a8 setup.

I think I'll put my money elsewhere.

Would be a fun project nevertheless.
