What have you done to your P5 today?

i took her out for a good cleaning, and wraped her up in the new car cover. i also started my winter build for her.
1. took off the valve cover to get powder coated and cut(cam gears at a later date)
2. removed the old wastegate to make room for the new tial.
i had to cover up the cams a little to worried about dust.
next i plan on removing the manifold, downpipe, I/C setup, so i can start on the new fmic, tial bov, piping, rewrap downpipe.

as long as i dont spend money that is need for everything else then i can buy, so i have to sell, trade or do side jobs to get the extra cash. i got the heater for free from my old job, it cost around $400 w/tax(they never made me pay for it). i installed it during the summer, so i could work on the car.

put a dollar bill size hole in the block. Never really looked at it but I think I snapped a rod.
