I think you would be better off spending 3-grand to get a nice condition 1G. Lots of money in repairs could very well mean the owner beat the hell out of it...but it could also mean he babbied it and wanted it perfect. That is something that should become obvious after talking to the guy for only a matter of minutes. Nothing really extrodiany on the list of repairs he gave you with the exception of a rebuilt tranny....who rebuilt it and why didn't he have the 2nd gear grind fixed (warranty?)?
