The Recaro (I think) seats are well worth saving too. But the dogleg tranny is supposedly not as robust the overdrive. And I think that Sfdon had advised seaking an overdrive with less than 175k iirc. An m90 may not be as long lived as an m30 either (not sure where I heard that).
Because another car in Seattle
Oh this is tempting... but a non-running car with 200k is a bit of a worry... and add to that "needs a radiator" = overheated when last ran????
@twistinglane ... what are the concerns with the M90 being not as long lived? You mean to say they are a weaker motor?
What I had heard is that due to the over square design the m90 internals, presumably the pistons/cylinders, wear a bit more quickly. But please don't take this as authoritative info...
BTW if that is an uncracked dash that is $$ right there
Hmm my Seattle friend is looking for an uncracked dash. Will call the guy.
Ugh post is gone. Wish I thought of this! You have to really want a dash to buy a whole car to get it. Not because of the cost but the headache.
