Posting this here to get some more eyes on it.
Have you been thinking about getting out of your e30 and into a 2002? We'll have I got an opportunity for you...
Anyway long story short is that I bought this car in December of 2020 with the intent of resto modding it. Plan was going well until my wife and I decided to have a kid which we did in early 2022. Now who has time for a restoration project.
I do have the car in a drive able state but it does need more work to drive well (shifter is the biggest driving challenge)
Basics of the car: 1974 2002 Automatic (before the swap)
Chamonix over Blue
Exterior:
Paint is in kinda ok shape... definitely multiple layers of paint there
Driver side rocker panel is the only concerning rust that I have found
E30 Bottle Cap wheels
Belt Line trim is gone, planned to shave it
Could use some new weatherstripping/seals
No bumpers front or rear
Interior:
Heater box rebuilt (New seals, new fan, water valve rebuilt, new mounting bracket)
Original seats and door panels (seats are cracked/splitting)
Carpets removed for planned replacement
Rebuilt Pedal Box and Booster linkage (IE performance bearings)
Engine and Transmission:
M42 and g240 5 speed
Engine Rebuilt (E36 timing setup with new guides, new chain, new bearings, valve guides, hyd lifters, piston rings, classic daily engine mounts, headers, and AFM mount, IE exhaust system with custom downpipe)
Coil On Plug ignition
Electric fan on modified M42 radiator
Drivetrain refresh (new solid flywheel and clutch kit, garagistic solid mount shifter (not a fan), Rebuilt CV Joints, Classic Daily transmission mount)
E30 318i driveshaft with Classic Daily CSB mount brackets
No tachometer, no speedometer
Differential could use a refresh, it's a little noisy
Battery relocated to trunk (E30 cable)
E30 fuel pump
Suspension:
IE 3 and Koni shocks
all new urethane bushings
new ball joints
New tie rods and steering bushings
New bearings front and rear
Fixed camber plates
Brakes:
Front (New Pads, discs, hoses, passenger caliper)
Rear (New cylinders, shoes, drums, flex lines)
I am about $9000 into the car and that's what I am asking for. I am open to offers.
