[s-cars] Which SB2

[JC]

IMO that 2nd car has a giant "CAVEAT EMPTOR PROJECT CAR" warning sign
painted on it. Current owner has been posting various places about it - he
seems like a really straight / honest / open guy, not trying to BS anybody
about any of the issues, but the car sounds like it could have more
'downside surprises' lurking from the PO.

Y'know when somebody put pistons in backwards, well, you never know what
else they mighta done... (BTW torquing the bolts with oil is my least
concern with that car).

Not that that should stop you (I bought my car expecting 10x more hidden
$hit to be wrong with it and have just been happily surprised...) Current
guy sounds well intentioned and reasonably well principled about the work he
was trying to do on it. It certainly seems like a cheap way to get a project
platform car with a lot of parts, then step one would be to pick up where
current owner has left off de-funkifying any of the screwed up stuff.

Here's most of the current owners story if you haven't already seen it...
