Cool, thanks. I'll check them out. Passenger sides seem to be easier to find but all the driver side seats I've checked out in the area are worn.

Both my seats are like MINT. 
I got hooked up when I bought this car. The previous owner used leather conditioner like every week. And my paint isnt peeling anywhere. He did take off all the outside emblems though (except the side anniversary ones) I want to know how you figured out which # your car was also =/ I dont have the stickers from inside the doors though if thats how you figured it out :'(

Rx-Heven, anytime, just let me know. I want to see that 20B run soon. :p
dr.jones63, I'm looking for restored shift ****/boots too. Let me know if you find one...
Parasite, e-shaft seems to "look" ok. But I haven't inspected it closely yet or measured it yet.

Thought I should update after nearly 3 months...
Alright, so my previous engine was torn down and I was really pissed. The only useable parts are the front cover, possibly the irons, the eshaft, and maybe one rotor housing. All rotor bearings and gear bearings were worn. Rear stationary gear teeth chipped. One rotor gear chipped. One rotor had a stuck apex and corner seal and a small chunk of the triangle corner assist seal chipped and damaged a small part of the rotor. Other rotor housing has a few small nicks on the sides. So I picked up a few other cores and found a suitable engine to rebuild.
Anyways, I removed the engine finally about two weeks ago. Now begins the pain in the *** part of removing every single part in the engne bay and putting them in bags and labeling them. Engine bay will be degreased, sanded, more sanding, degreased, then primered, wetsanded, dried, and finally painted. Front subframe is going to be removed as well to get in every corner. Energy bushings are on order and injectors will be sent out for cleaning in the meantime.
In the pic, you can see how badly damaged the engine was from the PD fire. Change your PD guys!!
