88 S4 5 speed LSD just dropped in my lap
Well shux I had a new customer bring his car in for a rack and clutch,
turns out the whole car needs to be redone,
so off it goes to INTL for an estimate for salvage,
only I get a second chance offer to buy,
so here we are.
DOH.
why ....
Its Black /Black / Black, hey,.... I have a caramel colored carpet kit that might make things a bit sweeter in the cabin.
Otherwise its a complete car even has the partially chewed up fiberglass front pan still hanging on and showing 51K miles.
OK so its been in the sun a long time then it saw some hail.
OK a good hood should fix it,
front PU is damaged maybe I can strip it down. and repaint, hey its black.
Then it needs everything, Back to front, front to back.
Intake refresh, fuel lines , plug wires, MMs, opg, clutch, rack, t belt ,WP , Gears? wheels and tires, AC refresh, it has rear air,
4 shock absorbers, I have a set.
I need to sell off some of these cars,
I have 4 now this makes 5.

NOPE it needs to be shined up, detailed, and sold.....at most throw in a clutch disc. It is a good start for a full restoration but not to try to do it and then sell it. Needs a hobbyist who considers the multitude of hours fun and free. Even then likely to be way upside down in the car. The low odometer reading if backed up on Carfax is a plus as you can not "restore" low miles.

Hoi they are all for sale except the show car,
whats your pleasure talk to me I will make you a deal.
JB the words you speak are so very close to the truth its astounding,
the rack is also leaking,
so a disc and a rack, and some compound and wax,
it looks like it still wearing original paint,
except for the front PU

Glad it is in your hands.
Low mileage trumps all that seal and cosmetic stuff.
Hopefully it really didnt need the clutch disk, as that would indicate a different history.

One poorly executed drag race start by an inexperienced stick shift driver can toast a clutch.... I have watched it being done !! Seen the results after it was taken apart , Hardly the end of the world

Stan I've seen you use PU a couple of times in recent posts and can't figure what's the exact acronym. I think its the front bumper cover but what are you referencing?
