my s4/s5 turbo project!!
Hey what's up fc lovers! I have owned my red 91 vert for almost two years or so. I have spent waay too much attempting to rely on it which was dumb, but am no longer in need of a car due to my new location. I am currently looking for a s4 of some kind, or a s5 turbo.. more like an s4 of any kind in decent condition. Here are a few pics of my ride.
Currently has blown coolant seals as well as blown oil control rings. I haven't confirmed this visually but the symptoms are as follows.
-smokes on start up (HUGE DEATH-CLOUD) and at higher rpms a little. Mildly pressurized coolant system and coolant consumption/loss... and a huge oil loss.
For the record this is not a sale ad or anything of the like... I love my car and until another 7 comes along this baby is chilling at my garage.

thanks for the welcome/advice. I have long considered just doing a rebuild on this...but sadly I don't have the time or place to tear down buy engine. It has a fresh clutch and tranny... but I've missed having boost every since my 91 supra turbo. I have since fallen in love with fc's and more importantly, the beast we all refer to as rotary. I am searching out a clean s4 because there lighter and would like a hard top/ sun roof 
after that it's on to reluctantly selling my baby and ordering everything required to do a t2 swap. I have a brand new turbo kit I got a good deal on. I will post more pics of the ride/ project later.
Oh and thanks for the props ridindirty! Glad you enjoyed the fruits of my labor
