    Body looks good! Any rust?
    Planning to stick to the stock power train? If so, is it hard to get parts for it?

    Only rust spot is this one
    http://
    That can see anyways
    It does have a knock, but I don't know if its a rod knock
    Does anyone know if there is a knock sensor on these cars ( or any other car)
    Is there a way to tell if is a rod that is knocking

    Just pull the oil dipstick, a spun rod bearing will show glitter in the oil.

    Yes there is a knock sensor on turbo models.

    That is the first thing I checked, but I didn't see any glitter
    It does smell like gas though, oil I mean
    Now to find where the knock sensor is located at
    Thanks
