Glass Sunroof, Carpet, and the seats. Oh and a baby!!

I took the headliner out and transferred the glass sunroof from my 93 to the 92. Surprisingly it took less than an hour to do the whole thing (take both down and install the glass one). Everything fits snugly and no leaks.

The carpet was a huge pain. Taking it out of the old one required a lot of work to get all of the lower dash pieces off because it is like a large square of carpet with two narrow rectangles running down the middle for the center console and then the gear shift and front console. I ended up cutting just one section so that I would not have to take out all most of the front console. I did leave the entire dash so it is black on top and gray on the bottom, but the center unit and center console are black so it has a unique look. The dash from the 93 has some minor cuts on the top and it has the passenger airbag and I didn't want to mess with it at this point. Maybe in the future.

Last but not least are the seats, I have the rear seat and the driver seat in, but until I have the headliner installed I won't put the front passenger seat in. I will post pictures as soon as I can. By the way we are at the hospital now and about to have our third baby. The doctor just broke Kayla's water and things are moving...slowly. I will update you in a few hours.

My New Russian Wrench!



Look how bad those are bent compared to the straight ones in back. I finally got around to getting the valve assemblies apart thanks to my new Russian Wrench! I had looked over and over at different "audi" specific tools that cost from $70 to $200 when all i needed was already in my garage. I give you the infamous russian wrench. This baby is good in any situation.
