Actually - my (Osman's old) 89 may come up for sale if this V8 is as
good as it appears to be. Looking for about 5.3K (just put way over 2K
into it). Some goodies include sport seats, V8 tail lights, momo wheel
and 6 month old euros, JC Whitney air dam, A8/A4 rims, TAP chip, boost
gage, new rear bushings, rear transverse links, master cylinder, center
bearing, motor mounts, trans mounts, replaced a cv boot and tie rod end.
Next is a driveshaft balance and heater core. Osman replaced clutch,
master/slave, rack, and bunches of other stuff...  Drives beyond sweet.
If you ever saw it when it was Osman's, you wouldn't believe the
difference now... Lower price mitout rims, V8 tails, etc...
