Bought a B6 with 130K, an early two spoke RX7 steering wheel and $500 worth of parts from RockAuto for the B6 swap. Leaving Sunday to go to Fort Lauderdale for my second Festiva. Another '88 LX 5 speed with 139K. Gonna be a busy week.
BEST DAY EVER!!! I got the accursed axle out of the Protege trans. with the magic axle tool, OTC #7140 it cost $38.95 on the Summit website, I tapped it in (note it will feel like it is too small to go around the diff pin, just tap it some more and it stretches around it) Then I smacked it with the back end of a splitting maul (8lb head I think) and it popped on out, also note that the slot in the tool is a little short to punch the axle out, but it is long enough to defeat the clip. just pull out once it has reached the limit for the tool.
