Buy that back, it may not be perfect but you can make that drivable and not hideous for not much money.
That should be under 4k, but I would buy it back on a heart beat and fix it later or somewhere cheaper.
I'm going to change out the wg and drop the boost back down to stock. I don't think the 235k motor lile 9psi of boost on a crappy tune. Maybe next year.

Got some powder coat to bake on some smaller parts. Still continuing to strip the interior and manage wires with tech flex slowly but surely.

Got the head back on the car today. The other head (the one I just had completely rebuilt) was leaking between 2-3. Got one of my other cylinder heads and made sure it was good and put it on today. Hopefully I'll have it back on the road by weeks end!!! I've been missing the car! Maybe I'll frequent the forums more when I'm actually driving it!

I am still working on it. Ran into a few headaches with it so it is taking a little longer than I thought
earlier this summer I put on one of the last remaining clunk fixes for the rear sway bar and new end links which got rid of the rear clunking. then i could hear the front clanking a bit. a couple weeks ago, put in a new motor mount #3 (OEM) but still clanking noises. put in new (OEM) front sway bar end links and now it feels like I have a new (quiet) car again! sweet! went and stress tested at the local autox on Sunday and it all passed w/ flying colors. it's a treat to drive again.
wow, to re-iterate what's well known, those end links were a royal PITA, especially in the front w/ such limited access for tools (and no impact tools). got 3 nuts to surrender but one reqd the dremel tool
will hit 60k miles in a week or two.

I have some extra 1.8 coils if you want them.
Just got my 3.5 lip today from azuelke.
Waiting for the greyhound office to open up so I can pick it up then try to install before work.
