My Newest aquisition. with pictures.

Well, I found this little number on Craigslist, and didn't think much of it for a while. It was up for a good three weeks before I called, mostly out of boredom, and drove the 30 minutes to go look at the car in person. Glad I did. Fell in love right away, but they were asking 1,200 bucks. Long story short, I got the car for 400 bucks. The coolant seals went out, and it pushes water out the exhaust. I bought a reputable engine for 600 bucks, should have that by the end of next week. Just going to do a heart transplant, keep it n/a. Keep it simple.

The engine thing is a hassle, I know, but overall, I still think I got a hell of a deal.

What do you guys think? The only rust in, on, or under this car is right there on the window trim. That's IT. Been under, in, over, poked prodded, tried to chip away at.... this body is glorious.


Here it is, dirty, when I was picking it up, my buddy Ed in the background with the extension chord.

Yeah, they don't look as nice as the black leather ones in my other s5, but oddly enough, they are WAY more comfortable.

I think the rims kinda fit the car.. they are a little too large though I will give you that, they are 17.....

anyway, if anyone can help me really quick, I am having a hard time pulling the wiring harness through the firewall, two clips- one orange, one yellow, are inside the passenger kick panel, and it looks as though they need to be unclipped to pull wiring harness through firewall. car is a 91 n/a
