Thank you gentleman for the support, once I'm home count on me calling on some hands to turn this project around quickly!

The car is up in Wantage just past Vernon, I'm trying to reach back to a few people back home with trailers to see what it'll cost to get it to either my parents house or my brother in laws in Hawthorne.
From what the owner has told me, the original owner blew a head gasket, attempted to do the work themselves, and let the car sit with an exposed motor. The person who owns it now has kept it under wraps in his barn for the past year, so all it really needs is a motor.
The game plan is to take leave sometime in April/May of 2013 when I'm back in the states and hopefully strip both cars down and swap as many salvageable parts from the Silver car to the Red car over a few weekends. I'll be parting out the entire drivetrain from the Red car to recoup some of the funds. I'm trying to save as much as possible on this swap, I still need a daily driver when I return to California.
I'm trying to do this one a little differently, the 1LE scheme is generally where I'm headed for the body, but I'm really liking the idea of a matte bronze 17" wheel. The 355 will definitely stay the same, maybe do a little more suspension tweaking if the budget allows, and i'm definitely going to take my time and do it right.
