Default Saved from the crusher

This was the longest easter day ever for me and Taylor. We left at 6:30am and got home at 9:30pm. Rocket's audi has been saved from the crusher, along with more parts than imaginable. Rocket had the Audi stuffed with parts, and still had a few boxes and wheels we threw in the bed of the truck. This beast of a 150k mi truck was loaded to the brim. It rained most of the way back making it a truly miserable driving experience.
When we got it back home we unloaded and tried to figure out what all we had, we need a bigger parts room. The car fired right up as soon as we put the battery in. It seemed to drive ok, but we cut the trip short due to the extremely strong smell of gasoline. Next weekend we'll go through everything, and get the car up on jack stands to see what it needs to become a track car beater.
Thanks Rocket!

Default Hijack: Is the rear trim/valence of an early 4kq part of the body or is it bolted on?

I'd like to pick a set up if it's bolted onto the cars.

Body panels are the same, bumpers/trim are what's different (&amp; can be unbolted).
