We're really close to finishing the dry build phase and we’re starting to run out of things to do. The list of essentials is down to 3-4 and the "nice but not essential" is tempting us. Let's how disciplined we can be over the next few weeks.

We bought an original composite boot/trunk lid from a later Quattro, for obvious reasons, but it had one broken mounting stud. We were hoping three out of four would be enough but with that huge oil cooler, we thought we should at least attempt to fix it. It was easier than expected but with one minor oops. See if you can spot it.









We also modified the rear skid plate bar to make it look more authentic. We added what might be a reinforcing bar along its trailing edge:





Next, we added some mounting tabs on the strut bar for our igniters:
