Default Sold the S2 - Looking to BUY a turbo

Well - sold the S2 last Saturday for $6650 with the C2 Turbo wheels to a local fellow named Tom. I was sad to see her go but now the search in on for a turbo. I still have the late S2 hatch, another set of C2 turbo wheels, the turbo S spindles with big reds and the M030 suspension to put onto the next car.

Eventually I would like to find one of the pearl 86 cars with original paint but that is a tall order. In the meantime would be nice to find something already modded and or with some cool options - LSD/Sport Seats/Full Leather. Might even be tempted by a cab to do a turbo conversion on.

In the meantime I am going to have to get my 944 fix off the nice little 86 guards red automatic that I bought for my wife. I took a bunch of pictures the other day and will post them here soon

Hey Tom - thanks for the heads up. Very nice looking car! I guess I should have mentioned my budget is around $8500 and color wise I would be looking for black/blue/white/gray. I am more concerned about the condition of the paint (original) and interior foundations(headliner/carpet/wiring) as I have plenty of spare parts to fix anything mechanical. The cars that are catching my interest right now are

Thanks Stephen - still not sure the color of the "Keeper" I'll end up with. Any weekend you want to change out that axle just let me know - I've got a couple good spares.

wi54545 - Wish I could have made it to the GTG to meet you and see your car. I am sure it is a really nice machine. How do you like that Vitesse setup?

Yup - I thought I was over the boost addiction but......with my new found mechanical abilities from parting cars and all the spare parts that produces - I think I'll go back What with Lorax's - now Brad's modded Turbo S, Albert's S2 to Turbo with Vitesse goodies conversion and whatever I pick up we should have a gnarly crew here in the ATL...
