I'm sure there are some other issues given the low price I paid, but I'm really looking forward to putting in the work. It likely needs a clutch replacement, so I'll do the IMS while I'm in there.

I was looking for a Porche, drop top, or project car, and this baby ticks all three boxes.
Congrates, and lucky the AOS can be an expensive problem. Welcome to the family, lots of smart guys on here.
