Looks Great! Did you bust out the Aluminum Paint on some those parts or are they polished?

Looks great and very clean, gotta love it. Sharp color, I think the 84 that I just bought is the same but I'm not sure. Its been resprayed and its faded from the Florida sun.

Great job John! The only rust I see are on the bolts holding the brace bar.

Close the Drapes and Garage Door and work away. Don't give those Insurance Cops a picture view of you, then you'll be golden.

Ok - here we go...
1991 S4 - New to Mizwa in Japan, imported into New Zealand around September 2004, and has around 83,000KM on the clock, although as the last owner stuck fat feet on the back, the speedo doesn't read correctly. Previous owner also took it to a less than reputable garage for an oil change and service, and the resulting oil filter and filings threw the big end, and cost him a new(ish) engine - one was found for similar milage in a wrecked '87 S4. ![]()

Hmm - I posted a reply yesterday, but I suspect the way I described the interior colour (likening the blue leather to something befitting a member of the adult film industry in the 80's) may have tripped a filter somewhere.
Anyway - I was going to say that the weather isn't that bad - except it has rained for 3 days now, and isn't likely to stop until next week! I got the car last year off a chap who had been trying to sell it for 6 months, and had ended up moving to the Gold Coast - so he was very motivated to tie up loose ends here. He had been the first NZ owner after it was landed in Tauranga. For some reason the importer decided that the spoilers (both front and back) shouldn't be black, and sprayed them the same as the rest of the car. The finish isn't too bad, but close inspection shows it's not original. There were some news reports after I got it about cars being stolen in the UK, laundered through Russia and ending up in Japan - but then I found the Mizwa sticker on the hatch, and the new 928 book from Amazon confirmed that they were the dealers in the '90s, so I think it's legit. Only dodgy thing is the missing options sticker - just a spot of adhesive where it was. Is there any way to get these details from the factory from the VIN?
