well good news bad news i did get it motor runs great some body rust nothing i an't fix need to replace part of the spare tire floor the story i got was he was going a bit fast and someone pulled out in front of him and he did a panic downshift but since the engine ruin great i am gonna guess he messed up and hit revers instead either way the whole tranny is locked up i had to flat bed it home so now i need to look for a nother 5 speed by the way i am in the usa :) so lera <sp?> money figures are kinda lost on me the motor does rev and spin very freely the oil is fairl;y clean water has not oil in it you can free rev it and hear that lovely turbo spool/whine no smoke out the exhaust so the turbo seals look to be good runs rich i am atributing that to missing vacum lines confusing the ecu no problem since i will change out the ecu to a diy programmable fuel injection controller the front end is more or less siezed <missing teeth off diff? > one cv boot seems twisted maybe joint is toast not sure needs some interior work as far as a mechanic goes well i am the only one i trust to work on my cars if anyone is interested in peeking at it when i get off work in the morning i will be adding some picks to my crappy web page :) oh and if anyone reading this near seattle ,wa or portland oregon has a parts car and has a 5 speed or even auto box give me a e mail this will eventually be my work car since i drive about round trip 60 miles back and forth to work
