It's home, it's nice, and it has nothing in the engine compartment. The guy I bought it from told me it was running when he put it in storage. That may be, but that doesn't resolve with the fact that when I started it, I got a "Whack whack WHACK WHACK Yoink (blurgh)" from the engine. (do the sound effects yourself, it's worth it. The "blurgh" should be made to sound like a gallon of oil hitting the driveway.) Pictures are here: http://www.duck-creek.net/dave/saab/99turbo/ More pictures soon, need to upload another batch. The block was penetrated by the conn rod, and the transmission case right above the (er...) left inner driver has a hole punched through it. I'm seriously considering patching said hole, as it's in a _very_ non- torque-bearing spot and just needs to not leak; the rest of the tranny seems fine. I'm in negotiations right now for _another_ 99 Turbo, with a spare engine and tranny that come with it. I'd rather just buy a turbo-type B engine from someone in Wisconsin (anyone? Hello?) but if I have to buy the other 99T, I can find a driver for it and make 2 good out of 1.5 good. I'd rather just buy the spare engine from the guy with the car, but he wants to sell it as a batch.
