New Rotary Owner From Southern Illinois

Hey guys mine name is Colten from Carbondale, IL. I'm new to rotaries in general. I've been on here awhile just reading the stickies etc. I thought I'd finally make an account and introduce myself. I recently acquired a 1990 S5 TII that will need swapped to another shell (rusted underneath beyond repair). My intention is to fully restore it and add a few suspension upgrades. It will be a long process over the course of the next few years, but I look forward to learning as I go. I also own a 2004 STi which is my daily driver. I look forward to learning from everyone as my build progresses forward.
Here are a few pictures of my cars:

Thanks guys! The stickies have been such a solid foundation of information for me. A lot of my questions have already been answered just by reading them.

The car(s) look good. I'm in southern Illinois too. Are you planning any engine mods? Bigger turbo?

Hey Shadowen, at this time I don't have any intentions to produce more power. I'm going to try and keep it clean and simple with emphasis on suspension.
