went back out to the yard today and grabbed the steering wheel off it as it was only $10 and in better shape than mine as well as grabbed both the exhaust trims. I had one fall off before so for $5 for the pair, its cheap replacements should it happen again.

tossed down a trunk mat and went under it and confirmed its a nv125 so if its not absolutely storming on friday I'm going back out to pull it and the front driveshaft.

I'm pretty sure both are perfectly fine as, when I looked at the vehicle pictures on the online inventory from the day it arrived, the rear window had "blown headgasket junk" written on it. thats long gone now but explains why nobody took the time to pull the engine.

I bet the transmission is good too but I have nowhere to store that.
