01.5 put in disk brakes in the rear (big +++ in my book)

Look for 53 blocks and stay away, some have cracked. Look drivers side for the casting on the block.

VP's are known to fail and expensive to replace but I still love my 02.

If it looks good with reasonable mileage. Go for it.

Post back with what your looking at.
