Okay, This is what I set out three months ago to find. She needs a little TLC but is rock solid to say the least.
I just wanted to say I'm really glad to be apart of this forum, its already been a lot of fun. I hope to get in on some meets once I mod it a little. Right now I am motor hunting, doing body work, and then taking it from there.

    I would like to add that I want to throw up everytime I work in my garage. I have nothing to do with anything in it except the car. Its disgusting and embarassing.

    Nice find :) . Like the color too . Engine swaps are fairly straight foward with wagons , so you should be ok there . Just depends how far your willing to drive for an engine . You looking to stay with the D15B or go to D16A6 ?

    Well I'm working on a d16z6 but I want to see it run first. Comes with almost everything I need for an auto to manny conversion too. This is the first automatic car I've ever owned and it makes me uncomfortable.

    Dropped the motor today. Suprisingly easy! I'm scared of putting a new motor in w/ a stick tranny. I think this could be the foreshadowing of lots of speedbumps :S

    I found a hole in the back of the block today too. wow.

    Got the motor completely pulled today. Started gutting the engine bay. :D

    whaat the...........!!!

    those are some large "holes" in the engine. Did someone shoot it with a 44 magnum?

    Nope. I was just cranking it over in my driveway and she siezed. Prior to this I had dropped some ATF down the cylanders to eat some carbon off the rings and free it up, maybe stop burning so much oil then. I don't know if she hydrolocked or what, but when I was clearing the cylanders, it just stopped cranking. Rod must have dropped and wedged the piston where it was. It was a frightening experience but better in my driveway than on the Interstate. lol. I don't care much I wanted to swap her anyway. :)
