LOL this is so sick. I think my engine and obviously the tranny is fucked in the sedan this is perfect can pull the tranny and engine as one piece and pop it right into my sedan. Going to fuck around with the wagon for a week.

Broke the news to my mom she didn't mind after showing her pics HAHA!

Damn. Lucky as hell, both of you.

Oh well. Got an SVX on the way towards the year's end, so I'm not too worried. :D Congrats on the cars guys! Got any idea what direction you want to take the mods in the future?

for me idk I am deciding between driving the car through winter and forever and ever. Or driving it for a week then swapping the tranny and engine to my sedan, or driving for JUST winter and parting it out. I will sleep on it!

I know exactly how you guys feel, I just bought my car completely stock, and I just started doing slight mods. I have a CBE in my garage just waiting for the right DP, as well as K&N, Hallman MBC, and 06TMIC... for now :D
Check it out in the build journal section if you have time!

haha yea, I like it. Would love a black TW but not love the 5MT swap, I believe that it is well covered on this site from the ones who have done it.

Little update. Josh got his car took apart the intake founds puddles of oil in it, cleaned it all nice replaced the pcv valve. Not sure if he seafoamed it yet though.

My car I drove home yesterday. Was pretty fun haha. Pretty rusty body wise but structurely seems ok. Very dirty and I tried 2 car washes and power washing and scrubbing and it makes no difference. This car would need alot of TLC to make it someone nice. Wiring is hacked up or the turbo timer and radio. Looks like the motor and tranny and all the good body parts are going to be sold and given to josh.

My car also has a exhaust leak, oil leaks, oil pan appears to be bent, but only 189k if the speedo is correct.

I think I will stick with swapping the motor and tranny into my sedan. I will just replace the turbo and oil seals, and belt and pump before installation....
