Who in the NY/NJ/CT/PA area is ready for a P80 MT swap?

Post by theWIFES_S70 »

Just came across this ad around here. It's a mint condition 99 with timing belt damage. :cry: But here's the kicker... the MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY HAS 115K on it!!! This tranny is practically brand new...

I wish I could get this and put my engine into it. Especially because the glass is good, the doors are good, the hood is good the bumper is good, the trunk is good, the rear lights are good, the headlights are good... the fender liners are good... (Our poor little S70 has a great engine but its body needs a little loving...) But alas, I don't have the time. Or the space! Not affiliated with the seller at all.

Good luck, MT swap folks!
