Engine/harness/DME...don't really need the tranny since mine's still in good shape. Trying to sell the car but since nobody's interested, I figure I'll go this route. Sold (gave away) my '76 2002's and there's room for a new project but still not enough money for the S52!! I'm talking like under $2grand...under 150k miles. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
