I don't imagine it would be terribly hard, esp. when you've got everything apart to swap suspensions. If i was in Va, i'd come help ya!

Braineack 02-04-2008 12:17 PM

yeah. i know it's not hard. im trying to figure if i can just swap parts into the current one.

thanks for the offer. nothign ill be doing is terribly difficuilt, but getting it all done in one weekend would be a bonus. hopefully beer and pizza will convince a few locals to help out.

plus the local vultures want my parts so....

Start spraying WD-40 now!!!1! lol
especially on your broken diff to get the housing out of the carrier for an easy swap
other than that, allt he suspension stuff

Braineack 02-04-2008 12:22 PM

shouldnt be hard, i have air tooolz. plus my car only has 83k and no rust whatsoever. diff only has about 3-4k on it. hell i only have 10k turboed miles in 3 years :)

For real one of these days we will get to drive our cars without fucking something up. FWIW i did 15K on my car before the motor blew. I have yet to hit 3K on the new one and already bought new rods for it. Does this shit ever end

I already contacted this guy.. cause hell I would buy it for that.. his response:

"It has 16k on engine. 160k on body."

For the record: As I was robbing parts from Scott's garage last night I checked out the car. The paint looks pretty damn mint to me... I think someone is just being a whiner!

Congrats-
sounds like option wise your car is a lot like what mine was. Mine is a 91', Steel wheels, no power steering, no power windows, but mine does have A/C, what about yours? Mine was previously owned by a 50 year old lady as well who did all the service at the dealership(stealership) I was provided with about $3200 in receipts just from the dealer service when I bought it. Looks like the top on yours is in pretty good shape, the previous owner of mine put in robbins glass rear-window top shortly before I bought it. I picked up my car for $3200 w/ some cheesy aftermarket 15" ICW wheels and new tires. My paint is in great condition, but probably not as great as yours. If you can transfer the power steering I would do it. have fun man
