If it runs, and it was close to me I would bid on it. There is only a weekend of work there to get it to a good fun driver.

And I dunno I think that funky colour could be kinda cool.

OMG - can you imagine how great this could look with only the contrasting piping?

Another example of "more isn't always better".

Sad.

I have one that will see the first light of the outside sun after 2 years... and that is just to tow it out of the garage and make room to spray another...

I have two with the engines just refreshed that need to go back in - and one that looks about as nice in the drivers cockpit area - wiring everywhere...
Your hired... Between the four of us, we could have a party....
What kind of beer should I stock up on?

Doesn't seem that bad mines looked just like it at one time or another.

But how much are you willing to pay to have me put your cars back together?

was thinkin that you'd be unable to resist such a rescue project car that close to you Mike. And I agree that the yellow is just unique enough for an OB that it could look pretty cool. Of course, the Speed Yellow used only on the '94 GTSs is one of the top colors for cool/rare to me.

That blue S4 looks really nice & I agree with Nicole, just the blue piping would have been just enough custom to make it really neat, but the blue panels is perhaps a bit too much.

I do accept beer as payment. This works out in your favor as that may require multiple cars in order to remember where everything goes.

In all reality though, i'm available 98% of all weekends. When you're ready to strip that car down, i'd love to help. Send me a PM or email through Rennlist.

YEA! If you want them - they are yours! They are the tan variety and in worse shape then any I have ever seen.
We should talk.
I stopped bidding at $1,200 - when you consider for $1,500 I know of a local '79 5 spd for sale in way better shape - a real OB - did I mention it's currently running...
Aw shoot - here we go again...
