I believe you have A904 if it is an automatic.

So what other parts did you need? Only the transmission?

 

What kind of restoration? Get me going? Driver quality? Rotisserie? Numbers matching?
It can be a huge project that takes a lot of time, resources, and $$ to reap expected rewards. I've read a lot of posts that have projects stalled for lengthy periods due to various reasons. Many are sold off as basket cases or for parts. Other folks just plain loose interest. More often than not one will spend more than what the restore project may be worth to "others", but in the end it is what pleases you.
Search the net. There is plenty out there to find. This forum and others can provide a wealth of information with "How To Do It", links to resources, and postings with what folks have experienced in their restos and issues.


A couple links to help.
Good luck and enjoy!
