Well man I would find out some more details, find out if he's had to do any work on the sr, see what kind of condition the car is in, just cause it's driveable doesn't mean that you would want to take it, you could drive a trash can if you had an engine and wheels on it. Make sure you know everything you can about it before you do it. I'll tell you though, I don't even know anything about it and I think it sounds like a hell of a deal!!!!

Good Luck man!!!

Venus isnt all that bad..if a part is bad they will give u a working condition part. Theyre probably one if not the biggest importer of engines right now.
