I did not, a buddy of mine were gonna buy it as a package deal -- but he ended up bailing on me, with good reason, because he just didn't have the storage space while he finishes up his E30. But if anyone is interested in that other wagon, let me know and I'll text him to see if it's for sale. All the parts are there, just disassembled and a little bend where the front valance meets the fender by the driver side headlight.

I never thought about just buffing it and driving it as is! Good idea and thanks, banzai510! Just saved me a few hundred bucks for the time being!!

The owner says it's an L16 from the 620, maybe y'all can tell me otherwise? By "priority" -- I meant as in, "list of more important detailed things for the future," as I'm sure y'all don't want to hear all the little details of what I want to do the the interior, how I want the engine bay painted, etc. The motor swap isn't scheduled to mid/late next year due to the girlfriend wanting to go on a month vacation and still finishing minor things on my MR2 and wanting to still build my Jeep Wrangler lol. The original plan is to tune up the motor, order some new door panels from T3 (speaking of door panels, I'm assuming the rear door of the goons and sedans are a match, right?), get some Corbeau seats or maybe just try to fit my stock mr2 seats in there, reupholster the rear seats and vinyl the new panels, etc. Here are some pictures of the interior. that sub-box is definitely going to have to go lol, radio is missing but that's not a big deal for me, interior needs a little touch up, depending on how the dash is -- kind of want to do the aluminium sheet dash that I've seen on a few of the posts here, really dig that.

I live in DFW area of Texas, the wagon is about a 4 hour drive from where I'm at -- I haven't looked at it person, but I'm trusting the owner on this one. But I would like to take the head off and see what is going on, as I would drive it as if around town until I can find a s13 SR20DET in relatively good condition. As for the 280z front strut, I'm going off what the PO is telling me and going through ZHent's old posts reading what he's done to it. I've only ever helped my friends with motor swaps, 3VZFE and 2GR into MR2s, and an LS1 in my buddy's Miata. -- but I've never sat in the garage and took out out by myself, always had friends around to help or vice versa with them. Thanks! I am hopping it's just a blown head gasket.

Picking up my new 72' Wagon next month, found out that this wagon once belong to ZHent on here while researching. Always wanted to own and build a 510, sedan or wagon. Car doesn't run, the current owner says what sounds like a dropped valve. Here she is: Priority plans for the 72' Goon: - sr20det swap - don't know which radiator or intercooler to run yet (still researching) - few swap parts will come from McKinney - hoping both harness are good still lol - gt2871r (have a gt28rs in my MR2, can never go wrong with the good ol' disco potato!) - Ford 8.8 rear end swap (31-spline) - figuring out how much the off-center is and how much to actually cut off (still doing research) - still figuring out which gear to run, 3.55 or 3.73 - still don't know which route to go for the suspension yet - car has 280z front struts and brakes, so might go with coilovers in the front - decamber the leafs 1" maybe? idk (still doing research on the leaf spring) Any suggestions on what I could or should do would be helpful! Thanks!
