    Might pick up an 87 Turbo, questions about clutch

    depends on what exactly has failed, if it is the throwout or the hydrolics. you may be able to drive it (id tow it anyway as our syncros are pretty weak and easily damaged). if it is the disc or pressureplate it will not drive at all either way id plan for a trailer to prevent further damage

    Converting non-ABS r154 to ABS

    i would guess that the housing is the same, but i would also guess that the sensor ring may not be on the output shaft. sounds like some explorative surgery is in order. to remove the plug you need to knock a hole in it with a flat screwdriver and pull it out with a pair of pliers. you could...

    Steering rack slipped, grinded gearing?

    you need to have somebody rock the wheel side to side while you look at the joints. and the mounts. you should be able to see where you have a loose joint or mount. should be pretty easy to spot. that will undoubtedly be where it slipped. take that point apart, inspect it for damage and reset...

    Need some opinions about education, jobs, and life in general

    go find a absolutely shitty factory job, work it for at least 6 months and truly listen to the old guys that you work with. discuss politics and life with them, and think about if you could really do this for the rest of your life...bet you will be back in school in no time and dedicated to it!
