CAR IS SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chasis has a tad over 200k and engine and transmission supposedly had 79k when i picked it up of craigslist.
Pictures and video to show the smoke (At bottom) included below.
Ok so i got the car together but the engine has some issues. it runs great however it smokes and burns oil (no leaks) i found out the previous owner of this engine use to street race (of course after i had purchased the engine)
the engine pulls hard and strong, does not over heat and idles great. just needs rings and you are set.
I got compression and leak down tests from a board member from when he tested it while the PO had the engine but they just dont mesh with how the engine should run with those numbers honestly.
this engine will need new rings to be good again and honestly i am really tired of working on this car. i built this car from scratch when it was in terrible shape and i do not want to pull the engine tear down and put back together. thats not how i visioned my summer back in March when i bought started this project.
im taking a loss as a lot of the parts were purchased new for the car except the exhaust and shocks and im marking even the new parts down
Also i have replaced the blower motor, Resistor pack as well as the heater core and tubes. all AC lines are present and still installed and i have replaced all O rings as well from HVAC box to AC lines as i had planned to adapt E30 lines to S52 AC compressor in the future. S52 compressor is included.
it is unfortunate that i have spent well over 7k in this project including car only to get ripped off on a bad motor that smokes. i have all receipts to show the money i have spent as well. almost all parts for the swap came from United BMW
heres what im asking below.
Clean shell, clean title
These prices are marked down from what i paid over the past few months as i know i will never get full price.
If someone buys this car all they need to do is replace the rings and they would be good to go and the car would be a perfect daily driver. you can drive the car as it sits now it just smokes and burns oil which is annoying.
