The engine looks good. i think it was a good deal. The turbo has cracks on the exhaust manifold but I have a good turbo. the harness was cut and no ECU.

 

Is that rust in the coolant channels? All in all doesn't look so bad though. When I rebuilt my N/A after the water seals failed on me at 36k It looked just like that.

 

Yeah it's rust. Once I clean it out it should be good.

 

How deep? Surface rust or deep to the point that the Iron's / housings need replacement?

 

Just surface rust. Everything is good

 

Nice. Let us know how it all turns out. Take pics

 

Yo please let me know how it goes. I'm going to do the same thing when I get bout 1500.00. I got an 88 n/a s4. Tigers got some good prices. Hope it works great

 

Well I put it back together this weekend and it's in the car. Just need to hook up the engine harness, belts, fluids and fire it up next weekend.
Here are some pictures I took after it was cleaned and assembled. Forgot to take more.
