I've done some reading on the auto to manual swap and its fairly straight forward, but I was wondering what your opinions are on the whole auto to manual swap. I know the auto engine has approximately 10 less horsepower, and I know what it would take to swap it out, but is it worth all the money and effort?
The reason I ask is because I found a rust free, never winter driven,'90 Classic Red with 280,000 km (173k miles) with a hardtop locally. It's a good deal around here($3,500 obo), and the mileage doesn't bother me too much, it's the fact that it's an auto that kinda kills it for me. Whats your take on this?
