I've been looking and bidding for quite a while. Finally got a donor for the 3.6 transplant. 93' RS 58k miles. Whoohoo

That's the plan. I've been debating, for a while, about how to build another, better 3.0. About 6 months ago, I started to get the bug to find a 3.6, and last week, I got lucky. It will be a while before I can start, as I'm just about to build a shop in my back yard. Once the project moves forward, I will be parting-out the car.
Jeff, I'll let you know about the mirrors.

The young guy I bought the car from said he walked away from the crash. He lost control coming out of one of our tunnels, and hit the guard-rail. He said the air-bag broke his nose, and he got burned on his shoulder from what he thought was the air-bag charge. The air-bag is some pretty heavy material. I've never seen one up-close before this, but better than being thrown through the glass.
