unfortunately the potential wasn't conservative

and the work I've done is mostly for naught. The steering rack has been acting up lately - in fact it has been stiff ever since I bought the car - and $200 for parts + the new clutch ($200) I'll have to install in the next 10K or so + the unknown things that are bound to happen (timing chain? persistant small oil leak from the valve cover and bypass valve, transmission synchros...) + the crazy amount of rust that has accumulated thanks to MNDOT... the marginal cost of one more repair has begun to exceed the value of the car to me.
And then there's the fact that I wanted to find a 900 in the first place. A friend had a late eighties 900S in college that was a dream to drive. The 8v engine was pitifully weak but the ride was superb. The car's handling was very tight and I love the slide of the old-fashioned sunroof.
That probably sounds like dumb sentiment, but its my motivation none-the-less.
