	| G'day everyone, 
 just after some opinions on this car, also have some specific q's I’d like answered.
 
 Are there any particular rust prone areas that i should look out for?
 
 I want a manual one, is the R154 gearbox the beefy one? if so what’s the W58 like? Is that what they came with standard?
 
 I hear that the 7m has head gasket troubles, Is this only in some cases or is it an unavoidable problem throughout all 7m motors that requires a metal gasket installed to remedy?
 
 How do the older soarers go around corners? The newer one looks more like a barge but the older one looks as if it could be made to handle pretty nicely.
 
 And finally, I saw at Import Bitz http://www.importbitz.com/turbo.htmthey sell turbo upgrade kits for about $3000 is this a worth while mod? any ideas on what sort of power I’d be likely to milk? I've seen BLKJET pull over 550kw @ 10,800 with a 7mgte but I can imagine that thing had a shit load of engine work.
 
 Thanks for your time all,
 Fingers crossed I can find a nice example in my price range
