It came to me as a bartar... No engine or tranny, just the shell, I had the motor and all mods.. I paid $200 and I traded a bumper, grill and valance... It needs springs bad..hence the RB springs on the way...

Sorry bout that it is an S4 with a lightweight flywheel...

Smart move Trevor. Think "Long Term Strategy". If the thing is paid for, it cost you nothing for it to sit, even if you can or can not afford to work on it at the time.
