Yes Cobalt precisely. See how the 92-94s have a longer final drive? To me that would defeat SOME of the advantage of getting a later MY... opinions?
As to the metal I was referring to, with rust on it, it was the body part between the fan and the bumper assembly, if you shall.
That became a moot point, sadly, because the nice seller (...) sold the car in mid-negotiations. To someone else. Very professional, I have to say.
There's another one, very nice, 64kmi... but there are NO maintenance records and the engine is 62 M 038xx , so it's a gasketless engine. Opinions?

To be honest I don't think you will find much need for the 5th gear. I hardly use mine and even on the track there are only a few that you can get into 5th and that is only momentarily. Wouldn't make it a deciding factor.
Meanwhile you have learned alot and are ready when the next/better one comes along.
