500$ isnt bad at all. tho the ongoing project is still the pretty one!
its funny how almost everyone prefers FWD in the snow. i like RWD so i can efficiently use oversteer! i drove my friend TDI (not stock!) in a snow storm and wish it was RWD, understeer is just not fun at all
still your audi looks nice and will let your bmw rest peacefully during the rough months!!
good luck with the project
