Added another 88
 
Grabbed a 5spd that had belt seize/fail at 37k... everything else is near perfect so hard to complain when all I have to do is fix the engine..
:D

Thanks John... life took a vicious swing and did serious damage to my health the last few years. The absence was necessary at the time.. now I'm stable, stopped working and concentrating on enjoying what I can on the days I feel well enough.
Family and friends seem to think this is the perfect project for me to get my feet walking again.
And damn we sure did miss having a low mileage princess to dot on :D

Ron.. you have an ob, you're automatically on my good side :)

Yay me!

She gets her shift linkage put in tomorrow, if I get off work early enough....then to tackle blue hose and clutch line.....bleeding....then bust out what's left of the windshield....and then road test! Hopefully a few weeks away!

Beautiful S4 Rixter, and I wish you well with your efforts to get her running again.
Like the original finish on the wheels, compliments the black interior well.

Beautiful S4 Rixter, I hope that the engine repairs go smoothly,
and when you done it will be a terrific value,
the rest of the car looks to have been well kept.
BTW what was the cause of the T belt failure?

Danglerb 09-06-2013 08:01 PM

Nothing like a 928 project to get you motivated, especially such a nice car to play with and ONE thing that needs fixing.

Mrmerlin 09-07-2013 07:22 PM

of course you should do the intake powder and cam covers as well

Rixter 09-08-2013 05:50 AM

Stan,
Not sure yet of the cause of failure. Plan is to fix the problem, powder coat, replate hardware, replace faded/cracked filler necks etc... essentially make it look new.

Absolutely Beautiful. :)
I am Green with envy! How much did you score her for?
