Looks quite nice.
How are the 2.5s compared to the 2.1s? Is the headgasket just waiting to go?

They drive nicely and have a much lighter clutch but I personally wouldn't have one as they are even more difficult to get spares for and judging by the experiences on the forum, not as reliable. The 2.1 engine is virtually bomb proof, the head gasket usually goes at around 150k but once done you can expect another 150k of relatively trouble free motoring.
