Yeah the motor and drivetrain are solid. Put most of the wrench work in myself. I just didn't have the equipment to change the clutch myself. It's a Hurricane Katrina rescue. Needed a little work to get it running, but nothing too bad. Changed fluids, plugs and alot of peripherals; starter, alternator, and coil. But the engine is great even though it has over 200k miles.
