Default New T/A owner

Hey guys, I just picked up a 98 T/A M6 with what I think is a seized motor for $1500. I promised the wife I wouldn't get carried away on this car, so I hope to keep the build below $5000. I'm hoping I don't need a new block because something that heavy will be pricey to ship to the UK.

Default finally got a few pictures

Got the trans out and everything disco'd, so I'm just waiting on a weekend off to drop the engine.
