I have read a lot of post about the swap and I have all of the information, but right now. 8-10k is not feasible. I want to do it right, I don't want to cut corners. So I'm thinking of doing it in stages. Over 2-3 years.

I have a 92 2+2. The body is in decent condition. I have pics. I will post up today. The engine is in good shape, I'll try to record the sound. Just got it out of the shop, had all of the seals replaced, basically a 120k service. The transmission is fine. The interior is shot! Lol.

But if I was too do the swap 2k worth of work every 6-8 months. How should I go about it. The first thing I want to do is put a 5 speed in. Put how should I go about it? It has been said that I can put the TT 5 speed in and drive it like that. Which would be the route I'd take.

Then maybe do the pan and brakes. Basically I want to know, what upgrades can be done before the final turbo stage and still maintain the ability to drive the vehicle.

Pics within the hour if I can get the uploaded. What is the best way?

Good luck with the swap. I don't know much on that subject, but to upload pictures, you have to sign up for a http://www.photobucket.com account, or similar website. Then link the pictures from here. The hosting website will have instructions on different ways to use the images. This site does have instructions on that as well.

I took some more pics and audio. I know little to nothing about cars, but I know I love this fair lady. Someone tries to buy her EVERY SINGLE DAY. So, if she to stay with me I must treat her right. Hopefully you guys can help me out. She was squirting for a while before the seals were replaced. My goal is to have the baddest Z32 in Charlotte, NC. And boy do I have a long way to go.

I had a bad oil leak from the main seal. That's why there is oil everywhere. The leak has been fixed. Also what is the best way to clean the engine.
