I have the next thing above pictures for you.
videos I took. Give me an email addy you want them at (2.5mb and smaller) and I will shoot them your way.
I didn't disassemble my car, but I got a good shot of the two you need to remove.
Removal of the airbox, accordion tube, battery, battery tray. SHOULD be all you need.
Just make sure you have your windows up, etc, before you remove that battery... haha (:troutslap self)

I could always see what I could get one for (family in the auto-repair business, so you never know..)
Order one from Steve at Tousley or Bill J. for your best pricing.
No clue on the comparison of discount on that particular part, so CHECK BOTH places!
PS.. you've got mail.

Thanks Ray, I'll check both options but I doubt that would work, I live in Mexico City and although I could have it shipped to Texas, where a friend of mine could receive it and later send to me, I'm afraid that it would take more time that I'm willing to wait, although if the savings are considerable I might go ahead and wait. So, off I go to search for Steve's and Bill's mails.
Thanks for the video, I'll check it right away!

PS. I just saw you also live in Tx, hehe, what a coincidence, my friend lives in Edinburg... I beleive that is near Austin? he always goes to some track over there...

Well, updating the situation, for anyone who suffers the same problems with the starter motor...
I took mine to a specialized shop, they took the starter out, changed the bendix which was nearly shot according to the mechanic,a strange plastic gear of some sort, they changed some bushings an some carbons, (this was for maintainance purposes only) and everything seems ok for know, he told me that my flywheel had received some beating from the milling but that most probably it would hold, and it seems he was right, knock on wood...
It cost me about 70 bucks, so it wasn't that bad, probably about 100 less that getting a new starter, so if anyone has the same symptoms, I would suggest to replace the starter or have it serviced as soon as posible, or you'll soon hear the whine of death...
Thanks to all who helped!

Glad to hear you got it fixed...and I hope the mechanic is right and the flywheel holds out. If it grinds or mills one time, then you know whats next! Good luck!

Yeah, I know, I did hear a hint of milling the very first morning after the fix, but I may had inadvertly given it too much "key time", after that, I have not heard anything bad not even on mornings, I hope at least it lasts a year or so...

also updating the situation, i changed the starter tonight. HUGE PITA. had to take out all of the coolant lines and even had to heat up the bolt on the starter it was so tight. anyway, flywheel had no damage and the starters bendix was what was making the noise. i believe as long as the car was starting there was no damage being done but if your car doesn't start don't let it grind. car starts up very nicely!
