Syd Dorn has a good reputation locally, and I purchased an Audi S4 from his brokerage years ago. The car was perfect, and exactly as presented in his sale ad then (2008?).

Second on the Dorn family name - being a native Oregonian who's spent time on the "Westside/Wetside" of the State, the Dorn family is a long time automotive family with a good reputation as an honest dealer/seller; I've never personally bought a car from them/him but have only heard good things.
Broker did send me receipts of work done. Original Engine swap by Landcruiser Specialties out of Oregon City, OR in 2015. Owner does appear to have spent ton of money on this thing and will never get close to what he has in it.
Even if I offer I would have no idea where to start with 5 year old 4BT swap??

Looks like its gone ....
Hmm was just browsing ad last night. Don’t think I was willing to offer what they needed. Wife didn’t like the color and prefers green anyway. Receipts for build not counting paint totaled over $59,000
looked like a nice one for sure.

After looking again it is still posted in Portland Craigslist.
That is easy to believe, if they told me he had 80k into this pig I wouldn't question that number.
Someone is going to steel this pig if they offer full current asking price.

Hi. It arrived last night. Dirty as sin. I put the back window down so I could remount the rear tire / ladder license plate holder and now the window won’t budge. I’m going to look through the forums for help. Front and rear heater fans are also dead.
BUT I do LOVE IT. Nothing I didn’t expect

My last pig, the rear window went down with dashboard switch, but only up with key in tailgate
I’m going to try that. Thanks
Could be in a bind for a number of reasons. My rear window goes down ok but I have to help it up due to tight aftermarket channel weatherstrip. My switch and motor are fine...but it also has some sort of relay that will kill power to the motor for a bit if it senses a bind. Could be a broken plastic gear inside the motor...there is a metal replacement. Also check the safety switch on the driver side inside on the body inside the tailgate.
Key in tailgate was all it took. Thanks so much. Now I can get to the car wash then worry about the heater fans from t and back.
Nice! That was easy. I love that rig....and it has made me want a 4x labs bumper a number of times.
