Looking at buying ST205 - inspection.

I found an ST205 for sale, but it's apparently not in the best condition. I want to check out this front-cut and make sure it's worth the money before I put a deposit down.
I am not too familiar with engines (still learning), so I'm wondering if there's anyone here willing to stick their hand up and come with me to this place to inspect this ST205 and tell me if it's a good buy or a dud.
I'm going to this place (Just Jap) at Kirrawee on Saturday, and I want to know who wants to look at this prospective buy. I know these are about as rare as rocking-horse shit, so I wanted to get in early enough before it goes.
Anyone?

You're best bet would be to get hold of Gary (GEE120) as he's already got an ST205 & he lives that way.
How much of the half cut do you think you're going to use?

Thanks Steve.
Do you have his mobile number or any other ways of getting in contact with him, say tonight?
I'd most likely use the full engine bay (what's in it) and parts of the gearbox, and probably raid a Hilux or something just as strong for CV's, diffs and half-shafts, etc.
