1988 Grand Prix white just rolled in, Project
Well I got a call from a friend a few states away about 88 S4 that wasnt running and the owner wanted to get it gone.
I made a few calls and the next thing i know I am rolling down the seacoast in the Range to pick it up down to Elizabeth NC. The price was right and after a few pictures if looked the part, and had original paint to boot. Hummm. Anyway Like a lot of these wonderful machines the car had fallen on hard times and once it wouldnt run it was left outside for a few years , previously had been a garage queen. Anyway I winched the beauty up onto the U haul trailer and tied it down and headed home. This car is like the rest of the ones i have gotten, it needs everything. Pedro can fix it! Anyway I am rolling on this machine, it will get a back to front go through lots of cash sent to the various vendors, https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...b03d4dca4c.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...b6e38eea56.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...0855e3bea5.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...383a5c1ac5.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...57620f0b65.jpg it will be a nice car when I am done with it |
Awesome man! |
Congrats, that car couldn’t be in better hands. :) |
Well If Rob Edwards and Greg Brown got it, it would be ,
But yeah your right Adam. Crank end play is .008 in., the crank was pre loaded by about 5mm now it turns easy. I got this !https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...62a9344180.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...9e956b89f9.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...4eac3def5c.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...806e967fcd.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...6307d84f28.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...e41e4ffbbe.jpg |
Holler if you need a new gas strut for the e-brake handle, I have a spare one here.
|
Well that interior had seen some moisture,
so the E brake handle release knob stuck in the pressed /released position after I got it on the trailer, so the e brake wouldnt set . A block of wood cured it Good Eye Rob |
Should be a solid car after you're done with it.
It looks pretty clean even if it has been sitting for a while. |
an S4 without rubbies and original paint...yum-yum. Subscribed :rockon: T
