I was bantering with another forum member here about selling it but I really like the guy,why would I want to unload any future problems on him?
At this point I'll just fix it up,detail the hell out of it and let some hoople fall in love with it,then I can get the best manual tranny 123 out there.....hopefully a wagon.

When do the 2008's come out? Look out bub, she's made it to double digits. As Father Fran might say, "time for her first beer".
There is something nice about an older car for a man that does his own work. I think you've hit on it with the term... predictable. As time goes by, when you've replaced most every system, you get to know what may soon come to fail and what will surly not, at a level of intimacy usually reserved for only the oldest and best used of whores.
