Calvin Door Donated,
"Will the S 4 94 doors fit? I have a shell."
Thanks for the offer Calvin!
I have confirmed from list sources (and also references that really knowJ ,
that they will in fact fit.
Sans window trim and a big hammer to make the trim fit. or, a dremel tool.
But apparently Chris Chambers has one in his big bin, primed and ready to
go. Thank you Chris, you wild man!
I have learned that now could be the golden age of urS part collecting as
there is relatively plentiful and cheap stuff around depending on what it
is.
Real rs2 Xmanifolds command a big buck as does a turbo, but believe it or
not, turbo tech has evolved since 1995 and when I do go big it will most
likely be with some new turbo made from meteor droppings that spools so fast
it has to be hood mounted. I always wanted to do that.
Still, the cost of the car is minute, but adding things here and there and
sorting it can add up quickly.
In addition to the door issue, I've got new to me wheels coming and now must
sort the suspension, for which I am shooting for something along the lines
of S6+ since the stock set up is just too floaty for my taste. I don't mind
the Rancho look for this project as I am thinking not so much of speed, but
more urban pot hole negotiating.
One odd note of note that I acquired with this car is that it came with not
only one but two unobtanium roof antenna's. both in good repair (I think.)
I also have three (not four) non descript 16" wheels, et 38 with some sort
of Pirelli tires on them that someone can have for shipping cost as soon as
I install the new ones.
Let me know and I'll send a pic. They aren't bad looking, I have no idea
what kind they are though. I'll be going with wheresweldo black bbs's.
