If you get it, there are some special tools you will need to invest in that make life a lot easier. To name a few, there is a special pliers made to pull the "pucks" out of the cam followers and a tool to depress the followers to get access to them. You will need to lock up the cam and IP{ when changing a timing belt ( every 40k miles!), but you can find things that will fit to make this possible. You will need (or need to make ) and adapter to mount a dial indicator to check the IP timing. You will need something to replace the c-clamps on the exhaust flange ( stupid idea) etc. Does the seller have any of these?

I still think it's a lot of money....anyone want a Rabbit Pickup
