After rebuilding the engine with my son on his 2000 Audi S4 last year, it was a great project, and his car was in very nice shape prior to having to rebuild the engine, it was very expensive, but it is a twin turbo. We spent about $6K total in a donor engine, rebuilt turbos, machine shop services and new parts. When I look at the engine in the pictures above, it's going to consume at lest $2,500 on the cheap end and it looks like you would always be chasing the next thing to restore on the car.
I understand that it doesn't always make sense, but this one seems to need a lot of work, a lot of money, and in the end, it's not going to have a lot of power, albeit I'm sure it's a super fun car.
Just my $0.02. Believe me, I have spent stupid money on cars in my life. And martini's for women.
