I added a before ,during body work and during engine work PIC.

She has had a new engine(rebuilt) installed, new complete exhaust, new tires, differential and half shafts, leather seats recovered and new carpet installed, new stereo with amps, speakers and subs, lots of little trim stuff.

Overall I am very pleased, she runs great, My sons friend helped me put a new top on last night.

Trent, that motor is clean!!! Do you know for sure that it needs a rebuild??



Did you decide on rotor housings and who was going to rebuild it for you??

drunkin_idiot 02-21-2005 12:40 PM

You didi a real nice job on the paint, a very clean s4 vert indeed.

It has a fresh Rotary performance rebuild, only 146 miles on her and that was mostly driving home from the shop. Starts sweet every time and runs very nice.

That is not my garage, I too, wish I had a big garage, my little 2 car garage has been consumed with RX-7 stuff, everything else is outside in the weather.

I bought an 88 vert on ebay for 1600 bucks and it is truly beautiful. Did you install your own convertible top, and if yes - how hard was it. I want to use the existing frame and buy just the fabric so I hope this is what you did also.
