Bump. I may look at this 190d this weekend. If I were to buy it I would have a place to store it and a few months to gather parts for a 5 speed swap. I would need the transmission, linkages, driveshaft etc from a gas or diesel 190, but I would a flywheel from a diesel 190d, correct? If I have to remove the engine to replace the transmission I shouldn't bother buying this, I don't have the room for a hoist anywhere.
I bought a $750 subaru but have already spent it's purchase price in parts getting it to daily driver stage.
