Any rust?

No, not really. The rear valance by the battery tray, and the lower portion of the pass-side fender which is toast either way.

LoL seriously? Don't you mean, "Yes, actually anywhere an e30 typically rusts, this one has it."

Fixed.

Any rust? Besides where e30s typically rust?

No, not really. Of course, the obvious rear valance by the battery tray, and the lower portion of the pass-side fender which is toast either way.

'round these parts, you can pretty much call an e30 relatively rust free and disregard the rear valance, cause chances are.. it's rusty. Thanks for looking out Gary.

I don't think you can though. If the car has rust, it has rust. Plain and simple, whether its from CT or FL.

I have had a cars with zero rust and I have had cars with some rust. It makes a difference and just because you're in CT doesn't mean the car has to have any rust. My first e30 was from CT and was really clean and didn't have a rusty rear valence/battery tray area.

To end this... yes this car has rust. If buyers don't care about it then great. If they do care, well its nice to know.

You're right, I should have replied "yes there is rust, but only on the rear valance, not the floor/rails/rockers or anywhere else structural."

I only took it lightly and responded "not really" because for a car with a body as beat as this cosmetically, the rear valance is not a huge deal, IMO.

I was not trying to hide anything. It is clearly stated in my original post, that the rear valance is rusty. Take it or leave it, and thanks again for the concern.
If anyone has any questions please PM me.

Bump for just having posted on the local CL.

[jstews]

I want this thing gone.

[jstews]

Will entertain offers.

Good luck with the sale Jamie

[jstews]

Hey thanks Rich, I see you've got yourself a new e30, of the MTech variety. Nice.

And Bump.. Offers folks, offers.

[jstews]

Price drop. Come take her away.

[Deltron Dirty30]

could you post a closer picture of the dents on the drivers side?

[jstews]

Yea, I'll get a few later. It's pretty dented. If your trying to make it into a nice looking car, a new door would be in order. I can't see fixing this one without a lot of pulling and bondo. If you still want to come check it out, PM me.

Engine bay:



shots of the driver side damage..
Please excuse the grime, I spot washed it quick this morning.

Weekend bump. This forum is so much more active than the Tech. I'd really like this thing gone this week.
