Rebuildables?

[Keystone4904]

Hello All, finally got an account after a year or so of looking in. I had a T/A that i sold for college now looking for another. Looking for any rebuildables if theres any out there. 98 up, 6-speed is really all i am looking for. If any one can help me out or point me in a good direction please let me know. I am from PA so Cali cars are out of the question! Thanks!

What do you mean by "rebuildables" like a wrecked car?

Same thing I did....just picked up a 2002 CETA for $6,000. It's got a clean title but needs some major work. I got a thread on here called "Ceta Build" check it out and good luck on your search. My past two rebuilds have come from ebay, but i've just got lucky on finding them. Some people look for months before finding something they like.....just remember not to settle for anything less than what your looking for (m6/a4 ect) you'll be putting a lot of work in the car so make sure you get what you want

That seems pricey? Will you make your money back or at least save money, vs buying one?

no chance of him making money on the build. its a wrecked car. that will show up on carfax if he wants to sell it. buying one will be cheaper if you dont get a low mileage ce or low mileage firehawk. but he wants that ceta and majority of the wrecked car is usable.

Dont buy a car as a investment, you will lose every time. Buy it and drive the hell out of it and have fun. Thats what it is all about.

oooh that i did not know. too bad your not keeping the stock ceta yellow then. it would have been worth a pretty penny. now you just got to get it repainted if you want it sold for a nice price.

Well:
1) I don't like CETA color and could not bring myself to repaint the car the pale yellow it was, I'm making it the way it should be
2) I don't plan on selling the car anytime soon
3) If I do sell the car it will be far into the future when its possibly a collectors item, I may lose some buyers due to the fact, but I'm sure I could find someone who doesn't care and would agree the car is better off the way it is.

Good luck with the project! My father and i did the last bird( 3/4clip, door, hood and Rad supports) and now we have a 69 GTO on our hands, that is going to be his pride and joy but still leaves me emptyhanded.

Good News. I found a car today near home. I know the guy who owns the yard which is a plus. true t/a, but it is AT. I guess i can settle for now on that being the price is right Going to look at it this weekend. Not sure of performance mods, but i do know it has electronic actuated cut outs. what they were doing with these i dont know. Maybe there are more hidden secrets. Car is a salavge cert. from Missouri. Its blue right now, but depending on the paint condition that might change. Grey gut is clean. car runs/drives motor has no unusual noises.68k miles i am not 100% sure as of right now if its an 00' or a 01'. Any words of wisdom on what to keep an eye out for??

Well back on board with a T/A. Bought a 99' A4 this morning. Couldnt pass it up for the price, needs very little work. Runs great drives nice. The body is perfect, paint needs a little work. Gut is a light flood, seats good but need to be cleaned, carpet is going to get replaced water didnt get high enough to reach the dash thank god. MO salvage title as it sits, needs to go to PA-R Title. not sure which brand exhaust on the car but it sounds GREAT. Long tube headers,elec. cutouts and some muffler i couldnt identify,yet, very thoaty and loud. All electronics work, headlights flip, and antenna works. The car needs a headliner and visor (little tear on both), front license plate cover and the seatbelt guides on the headrests. other than that not much. I should have the car home within a week or so and will get pics up for a before and after!

Anyone have paint codes for me? Might need some for touch up and a ram air hood.

Cant wait to have her on the road!!
