Gonna need another 1st gen

Well its lookin like my 1st gen will be up for sale possibly by this weekend.
So its looks like I will be on the hunt for another.

Nothing its a great car, well above average condition with a whole page of mods.

But I will have a bike in another 3 weeks because of gas prices, and I have my truck for the winter, so I am just looking for another project to get a little crazy with.

I dont want to mod to much more on the one I have know because it still looks stock and looks too beautiful to do the things I want to do (i.e. 13b monster street port, nitrious, gutted interior, lightweight everything and anything, etc...) basically want to setup another drag car.

ooooooo thats only a couple hours from me. hmmm.....
why does it have to be a series 3 v8kilr? If your gonna gut the interior then the differences there don't matter, and the minor engine differences won't matter either if your swapping it. The only other major difference I can think of is the rear end, but that can be swapped easily enough. I know the lower control arm mounts are 20mm lower on S3 cars, but that shouldn't matter much. I'm just curious really.

I plan to copy the dash out of fiberglass and it will save me the trouble of hunting one down.

thats pretty much it.

Plus when I gut it the interior parts are usally worth more, especially if its a GSL and power everything.
