I've got a line on one car if I can get to it in time - seller wants to list it pretty high but has agreed to sell to me for what he's got in it if he doesn't see any interest. Then there's a guy in Iowa that I am trying to get a hold of - claims he's got "a couple to pick from" where I would be perfectly fine driving out with a friend, renting a one-way trailer, hauling one and driving the other back. Assuming he ever responds. "You didn't hear this from me, but..."

My first car was a 1981 GL1800 Hatchback. My second car was a 1989 Loyale 3dr 1800. My third car was a 1988 XT6. God I miss that car. I've been trying to get a line on one (or two, or three... more on that later) but they are few and far between, with most of the better examples being PNW. Alas, I am in coastal Virginia where the pickings are slim. Any help in tracking down a viable example - preferably 5MT - is appreciated. If there is a good shell (everything mostly there except for engine) I would also be interested, since I would like to do an EZ30 swap with 5MT-AWD (Legacy turbo) which would put almost 200 horses under her hood. There's a guy in Portland right now with a FWD that would be almost perfect, but it would cost me almost $2000 on top of the sell just to move it. Unless somebody here can help...

I've looked at this car a couple of times and it seems like it would be a good candidate for an EZ30 swap. Unfortunately it's in BC which is too long a haul, but $1000cd sounds like a bargain if it comes with spares. There is a pretty good market for JDM engines and transmissions right now. I could swap an EZ30 and 5MT AWD from a Legacy and get almost 200 horses right out of the box for less than $3k US.
