I’ve daily driven this car since 2003…..

The bad:

Turbo needs to be rebuilt, its bleeding oil. I've located a place to do the work, I just need to find somewhere in Northern VA were I can park it pull the turbo and leave it for 2-3 weeks. Turbo will be rebuilt and I may have the wheels upgraded.
Needs brakes booster. I have the unit, needs to be installed.
Need ps reservoir, I have the unit, will be included.
Will also come with new ps lines.
Steering box has slop. I have an extremely tight unit. It just needs to be installed, or will be included.
Will also come with reinforced sub frame.
Needs paint, and there is rust here and there.
Front seats are toast. Passenger side is dry, maybe it can be saved, driver’s side is done.
Taillight gaskets need to be replaced. There is water in the rear floor boards.
Rear passenger window needs to be glued into regulator.
Headliner was damaged while installing moon roof.
Trunk needs adjusting.
Glove box vinyl is peeling, I have perfect replacement that will be included.
Euro low beams need to be replaces, they are cracked. They still function though.

I was asking $6000 before the turbo issue. If you are interested, we can work something out.
Car runs and drives fine.

Do you have any engine bay pics?

[grey ghost]

The dreaded engine bay shot. Yes, it needs to be tidied up.
The valve cover was sweet, but I've taken it off so many times, it needs to be pulled and stripped.
Custom cold air intake and inter cooler up front.



The two pictures below are minus the cold air intake.

First $4500 takes it. Currently located in northern VA. Can be parted for much more. I just don't have the time and space. I've driven it once in 6 weeks and that was today. It started right up.

I won't be doing a partout, I just waned to point out what a partout could look like.
