feeler: possibly parting out 86' 16v

[toofast4you89 at gmail.com (Ben Walter)]

all right everyone, here's the news.   I'm keeping the car and made
arrangements with mom to steel her spot in to garage over the winter and my
dad and I are going to...
-swap the engine for the 1.8L 16v that came in Ben Harder's old black Rocco
that is now my dad's
-water pump
-lightened fly wheel and maybe pressure plate, we will have to see
-replace& convert the car to manual steering(the right way!!), p/s is to far
gone to fix
-wheel bearings at all 4 corners
-new pads and rotors at all 4 corners
-new gas tank and the in-tank pump
-delete A/C while were in there
-and possibly fuel lines, well see

i know I'm forgetting something but there is the list, few...

anybody interested in a re-build able 2.0L 16v :)
