I guess the 90Q isn't as rustproof as people say they are. Not too
many B3s around here though. There are a few Coupe GTs up for sale
locally that may or may not be buckets. I guess its a good thing you
have the pickup.

84hp for the turbos (automatic only), but 127ft/lbs of torque at
2800rpm. NAs were 67hp (84.4ft/lbs at 3000rpm) and the 5-speeds they were
attached to were geared strange and had no guts at all. Type 43s
weren't exactly light either.
