One of the final projects completed before I left Rhode Island was to fix some small rust spots on the frame of the Audi S6's windshield. The idea here is that the S6 may very well live outside at times, and any rust currently on the car is likely to get worst with prolonged outdoor exposure.

The job was pretty simple: remove windshield, remove rust, paint, installed used windshield I procured last month. The rust thankfully had not gone deep into the A-pillar but because of the need to do this job quickly and without matching the roof, there's some flaws in the paint. Mainly, there was so much wax on the car from when I was desperately trying to bring the trashed finish back to life, that small bubbles appeared as the paint dried. It's meaningless - I'm the only one who will notice it - and the price paid for the work was more than fair.

The windshield is a nice bonus, as it's a very clean piece of PPG glass that takes the place of another aftermarket windshield that had cracked and had numerous chips. 

It's not the most rewarding project but it will help reduce the possibilty of the S6 beginning to rust as it resides outside.
