Possibly getting another R... For rescue.

Popped up to see an old mate today, who mentioned a friend of his has an 850R auto stashed in his garage. Apparently he'd taken it for a service and it hasn't been right since. Has Leda suspension that I know of, not sure about anything else. He said it's been on ebay a couple of times but the buyers always backed out without viewing. He's had the engine stripped and head skimmed, but only has 2nd and reverse (any ideas?) worth getting to repair, or break?

All depends on how much it is.

The auto box does sound f00ked though

Is it an olive one??

[cherry1809]

Yes, with tinted windows. Did you see it on ebay?
I haven't seen it yet, but if my mate gets back to me in time I may pop out the weekend. It's only 20 mins from me. :)
