The upside is that it is a rare Turbo-S and that you say that you can perform most of the work yourself. If you intend to drive it as a keeper until it falls apart, it may actually be worth looking into provided that you entirely use salvaged parts for the rebuild.
Yeah, the salvage would stay with it and would always make it much harder to sell, BTDT. And, I tend to sell cars after 2-3 years so, knowing how I am with cars, it wouldn't be a keeper for too long. I'm not heartbroken about this deal, but just having a hard time finding what I want. Must be patient, must be patient...

I see it is on ebay now.

Other than the S on the back and the sills (which any poser can change out) How are you sure this is an S?

I thought the cluster middle gauge said Turbo S on it? Which is a little harder for most people to change, then again maybe that was only later models.
