Anyway this is mostly new territory for me, aside from doing all the work on my 9000 and fixing up a spg I've never striped down a car and really seen the inner workings of it before. So this will no doubt be a good learning experience. On the to-do list is learning how to weld, remove the engine/tranny, and replace/rebuild a transmission, and learning how to adjust handling characteristics.
The car is in very good shape, it is a 1991 c900 turbo. I purchased it for a good price because reverse and 5th gear are gone, and 4th usually grinds. Other then that there isn't much wrong with it. After taking out the rear seats I found a lot of shattered glass, so the rear hatch must have broken at one point. But there does not appear to be any frame damage. The sound deadening was completely water soaked, so that went in the trash. Lets see, one of the headlights has alot of water in it, so I either need a new one or find a way to dry it out.
Here are some pictures

I'll have more pictures of the inside once I can get to a computer that will upload more pictures in a reasonable amount of time..
One question I have is is it possible to adjust the gas pedal so it is on the same plane as the brake and clutch? Will make for easier heel toe shifting.
The shift rod has this pin at the bottom - if it is even slightly out of adjustment, it can make the gears seem notchier, and if bad can commonly make 5th and reverse hard to find...just take out the rod (pop off shifter boot, three torx screws) and measure the distance from the end of the tube to the end of the pin that resides in it. It should be 22mm (as exact as you can get it), give or take. The haynes says it should be longer (24 or 26 mm IIRC), but this is wrong - I've tried both and the bentley is most certainly correct. To adjust, pop out the split pin and rotate the end pin in/out (don't thread it too far out, though, it is a huge pain to get back in).
