Hey everyone!

Ok so heres a very short intro, this is my second s4 and ive been creeping on the forums for a long time. I picked up an 00 s4 for $3000 cdn at an auction. The Goods: I knew from the mods right away it was a stage 3. Has ko4s which might be on the way out, vibrant exhaust, chip, dps, stage 3 clutch, fmic, oz rims, brand new rubber, etc etc etc. Right now it has 260 000kms. The interior is MINT. I figuired for 3 grand I could easily part it out and at least break even in the worst case scenario.

The bads: needs body work- fenders, hood, bumper....not a big deal.

Mechanical work: Head gasket for sure (air getting into expansion tank ALL the time). Might need turbos (dentist drill sound). Im burning some oil and coolant too (Not alot...).

So I figuire the car was cheap so I can dump some money into it. Of course ill be doing the work myself. I plan on pulling the engine next week, and working on the engine all winter.... ive got nothing but time on this.

Really what im wondering at this time is how much is involved ($$) to do both my head gaskets, and while im there, what are peoples thoughts on rebuilding the whole engine?? I dont plan on going past stage 3. The current mods are plenty fast for me, ill never track it, and it definately wont be a daily driver.
