Once you have the car, remember, stealth316 and this site. There are guides for a lot of repairs, and members here have done it before, so the knowledge is invaluable. I wasn't a mechanic before I bought this car, and you can see my mod list, I've done almost every one myself, in my one car garage without air tools or a lift.
Thanks for quoting stealth316. I'm reading through it now.... wow. Oh how I love the internet

Secondly, Id say it's fair to quote rebuilding prices? Or do you think I should quote new prices when bargaining with the guy? Meaning if I talk about how the turbos are in bad shape... should I tell him it costs X amount of money to buy new ones or X amount to rebuild them?

Thanks again
