Well she's finally here 89 Vert, body straight with a couple of dings, rust spots on both fenders and rear wheel well, other than that she's awesome.



The window switch on the driver's side does not work and the windshield switch does not work any suggestions on fixing them.



Other comments are welcome with suggestions on the body or engine.



Thanks..

Let me check on that, is it a bad thing if its a S4 than S5 its just the year, right.



Thanks for the info. will be looking into that tomorrow.

I checked the pink slip and it says it's a 89 vert so I guess I have a S5....

Bumper, molding, and mirrors are s4. I dont see someone going through the trouble of swapping all that onto an s5.



If your airflow meter looks like this then its an 88.

Isn't it something like the 10th digit of the VIN shows the year?

Nice vert, time to take off the front bumper bracket. Mine had a dent when I bought it from that thing.
