    I got mine around 40 a pop. that was couple years ago, I would say getting them regas would be the option if they are 120 a pop now. Those small shocks shouldnt cost to much to regas.

      Looking for tonneau shock options...

      but bump for a new o2 sensor being installed. Runs even better than before.

        Check these prices. I put them in my '89 vert about a year ago and they work great. $29.89 each.

          Thanks for the link. Why does everywhere I look say you need 2 of them? Under my cover I only see 1 in the middle and confirmed with realOEM diagram there is only supposed to be one in the middle... though it also says quantity of 2? Where does the other one go?

            Bump

            Seafoamed her, new fuel filter installed, and oil change is being done on Thursday...

            Edit: Also converted the OBC light bar to LED because no one should have to go through that much work to change a light bulb!

              Bump for lowered price.

              After seeing what these cars are going for now with the economy we decided to lower to $4800 obo.

                Bump

                Fixed/removed some extraneous wiring done by the PO's mechanic. Got the aux fan working as it should. They had replaced with a new one, but done some weird wiring to it. Pulled extra aftermarket alarm wiring... etc.

                Also removed/detailed the shite out of the interior. The wife spent 6 hours (literally) on it today and only finished the carpet, seats, and doors.

                Pics tomorrow of the interior and motor will be added. Unfortunately the pics of the head rebuild were lost on a corrupted SD card, but you'll be able to see from the pics the head was redone.

                  Bump, added LOTS of interior, engine bay, and top up pictures. Let me know if there is something else you would like to see.

                      Bump, showing to a local today. Just had an unexpected expense with our house (drain collapsed under it)... $$$. Hoping this sells soon.

                        Yeah. I think also. Mine around 30 a pop. How can I purchase it with that amount?

                              This seems to be the general consensus. The wife and I don't want to lower the price much more since it is in such good shape just for a quick sale. We don't want to swap a 5spd for the same reason. Plus she likes the auto.

                              So, we have decided to keep it. Gonna start adding the usual stuff to it... ellipsoids, wheels, etc. Look for a project thread as soon as we fully recover from a seriously expensive plumbing issue... I paid less for all 4 of the e30's I have (original purchase price of course).

                              Thanks for the compliments, and again look for a project thread soon.
