Hey,

Im Dan, just picked up this e30 with some healthy aspirations for it.

Info on the car...not really much. It came with 3 clusters so no clue on mileage, it had been sitting in upstate NY unregistered for 2 years, those 2 years I guess were the 2 years it was here, because all things considered there does not seem to be TOO much rust.

325, Auto. I will let the pictures do the rest.

and one of the project and the Daily.

dannyd · 11-19-2012, 05:06 AM

Couple more.

Looking forward to the saga. Appears to be a pretty solid find, congrats and welcome to the community sir.

I wish I could say that my NY car was rust free or even close to it.

F34R · 11-19-2012, 07:06 AM

SWEET! another local on r3v! Welcome!

Is that the same one on CL for 1,300 or trade for some style 5s for his e24?

possibly...not sure. kid said he had an e24 635... and kept saying that there was a local guy who deals in E9's ... paid 8 for it. since im not using the stock motor/tranny anyways or the interior for that matter, the fact that it is an auto that is somewhat hacked really didnt turn me away...just needed a relatively rust free unibody

im actually between Ithaca and Auburn.

F34R · 11-19-2012, 07:53 AM

Nice, it is really clean. I am always in Ithaca during the summer time. I love the falls and commons, the food is great there too. I am about 40 minutes from the Commons.

What engine are you thinking of going with? If I were you just swap the harness over to a 1.3 moto, do a 885 head swap and install a 5 speed.

dannyd · 11-19-2012, 08:14 AM

^^^

thinking of getting a little wild with the motor and crossing continents.

I dont want to say what my plan is until i have the motor ordered. Basically I dont want to talk a huge game an not follow through.

EDIT: RB20det ordered

nice work, the shell looks great. look at that shiny transmission!

pulling the fuel hardlines and I see the fuse box is gone too?... interesting.

dannyd · 12-03-2012, 04:26 AM

Hit me up if you are interested in the motor/tranny

dannyd · 12-03-2012, 08:39 AM

for clarification:

-sound/vib deadening has be removed everywhere except the doors ( foot wells, rear seat, tunnel front and rear, rear quarters, trunk)

spare tire well has been removed...

its alot more weight than i anticipated.

this week i am going to clean up the interior and start getting footers ready for the cage.

dannyd · 12-03-2012, 09:34 AM

Paired to a 5mt trans.
