            It most definitely has the right engine in my mind. The nostalgia of the S14 is cool, but as an owner, the S50 offers much more as a daily for reliability/practicality/fun.

              Awesome! I'm glad there are still a few out there that are willing to save these cars, seems everyone parts them out. Great Job!!

                Awesome find! Looks like fun. What was the purchase price so we can be jealous?

                      Was wondering when you were going to post. It was a good save. Who knows how long that thing would have sat otherwise.

                        You know I can't do that! But to be sure, this was not a 'couple-thousand' dollar car, I got a very good deal but it was by no means pennies on the dollar.

                        Oh my god. How are the doors and fenders interchangeable, but the windshield and A-pillers are not?

                          Hey I got nothing against the "S50" I've got one in my car.

                          I've driven M3s with s14s. And it's the proper motor for that car.

                              Nice save, doesn't look like it was that much damage either
