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.

And yeah. That's a 510 wagon next to it lol. It's for sale BTW.

 

I dont like the seats but meh... good find. Mine ran but was in HORRIBLE condition.

 

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

 

For most part looks to be in good shape...coffee can exhaust tips is not my cup of tea though. Looking forward to seeing some picts when she's cleaned up.

I think you got a hell of a deal!

 

Actually, the exhaust is first thing I'm changing lol, I hate that ****!!

 

good find. yea that exhuast and them rims? not a fan of them rims. interior and carpet look nice a clean.. good job!

 

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

 

Good find. get her cleaned up and running then post some pics!

 

Nevermind, got it. I actually might pull this engine in the... 5? 6 hours I have been working on it? And I have been really off and on. Cooking, dickin around in the garage, cleaning.... all lines are pulled, harness laying over engine... LET'S DO THIS ****!
