And yeah that rear quarter trashes the car. Also euro bumpers don't go on a late model so easily.

Yup... Rear quarter makes me instantly put that car out of the question. Small nicks are fine, can be filled, and pulled. But something that big with huge creases is no bueno. An interior doesn't really matter much to me, because I'll redo it anyway... Started with nasty tan vinyl with ugly stained carpet and cracked dash.


And it's changing yet again...


My point is, don't worry about small cosmetic issues, just make sure the body is straight, and that its mechanically solid.

I'm still looking for an e30 in a low price range that i can start learning on I found this one but my only huge issue with it is the large dent on the drivers side wheel well.

What do you guys think?

Edit: I think i would get euro bumpers or something too anyways open to ideas

here's two better options at two different ends of the price spectrum:

Maybe a little ;) thanks haha!

Hey I'm proud of how far it's come!
I'm so disappointed I sold the seats though... That's why I'm trying to compensate by reupholstering it!

Would anyone be interested in a modified bracket that replaces the slider to lower a factory sport or comfort seat down by about an inch? In the process of designing it right now!

How about an e34 m5? Shop buddy has one, black/black.

that would be the guy's dream car, as it's the exact one from the movie, but with your relevant experience, would you recommend an M5 for a first-ownership experience? he's a UI/UX guy so can probably afford it, but i'm still a bit hesitant to recommend he go for that over a more-easily-fixed 535i.

[kronus]

that depends, does he have feet for hands?

the car has a lot of miles and needs the front timing stuff done, but is in lovely shape otherwise. I've been pining after it, but have no space to keep it or need for it.

Today is a good day-- White M3 came back from the body shop, so no more Chrysler 200.

[kronus]

[Bimmerman325i]

Yup!

Are you coming to hacknight? Are we doing hacking things?

The front one was ok but the rear is totally effed. Bought some parts off of him a while ago.

LOL that's probably something he should mention in the ad don't you think?

[Toodaloo]

Yeah... Probably should.. But you know, zero fucks.
My buddy and I went down from Napa to SJ to pick up the interior for his car, and the dash/center console for mine. We gave him the money, then while we were pulling some parts off that we negotiated for he just sorta left. He was like, yeah I'm gonna head out. Don't take anything you didn't pay for. Lmao

Yup the rear bumper is beyond done. Kid spun in the rain and hit a tree pretty hard. Basically the entire rear end was pressed in a good 10-15 inches.
