Now that I've got some concrete results I figure I'd post my latest acquisition, even though I've had it for 10 months. Bought it with a bad clutch, and a A525. Has the clutch replaced and an A555 took it's place behind the engine. Had the engine mounts replaced with polybushings and a bobble strut, redid the vacuum lines, induction and fixed up a bunch of other items. I'm not fully done, but everything else I want to do will not be visible for the most part, so might as well post some pictures now....

This was my first Daytona. A Euro 2.5 turbo. The guy before me put the iroc stickers on it.

I lost the black one back in 2007. She had more problems then I could fix. She's probably landed in the crusher by now.

This is my current baby. Also a 92 Euro 2.5 turbo.

I could kill who ever glued those turbo emblems on it. (I'm pretty sure they are from Peugeot)

She has a lot of basic maintaince done, but the paint is in rough shape even if you can't see it in the pics, plus she is rusting underneath the ground effects in a few places. I'd like to put her in a garage somewhere and tear her down, but that's a long way off. Right now she is my daily driver.

I always wanted a 91 since I think they were the best looking, but I couldn't afford the taxes and insurance here in Germany on one. Plus the only one I found the guy wanted like 5000 euro Which is a hell of a lot of money for one of these cars in an unrestored condition.

grabbed the entire rear disc brake assembly with parking brake in the disc from a 89 daytona in the salvage yard for a whole $90 and its all still usable, everything must have been replaced within a 50-100 miles, hell the grease was still the original white LOL
