Got a new FC this weekend

Radiator drain cock

Plugs

Trying to find a motor for it, as i dont think much of any of the engine is useable at this point. Someone at some point grounded the wiring going to the radiator level sensor. The best solution for blow coolant seals

9AM

12PM

Here are some interior pics, the best part of the car.

89 base? Nice.. there is an S5 long block on ebay right now for $600 I think...

You can always tear down and just do a cheap rebuild... looks pretty straight although I hate the S5 paints... the S4 cars had much better paint quality. I don't think I've seen an original S5 in white that isn't flaking off in about 10 years now...

Good luck with the rest of the build...

Nice! I wish I could have found a base model. I'm jealous of your manual windows and non-privacy cover speaker grills.

I miss my white FC

Getting rid of it was the worst thing I have ever done. Since then I have been filling my loss with car after car, but nothing is the same.
