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..

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

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?

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

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.
