if you want I would pick it up for you do the TB belt/ water pump etc.. and sell it to you
Looks like a pretty good deal.
Hope the clutch and LCAs are still good
+ side is plastic bumpers and manual gear box

The LCAs will be maybe $200-$300 in parts if the lower ball joints are wasted.
If you can press the ball joints out yourself that would save, but most control arms are sold complete with bushings separate of course.
I think a little work, and maybe some parts from a newer model for the interior would make all the difference.
My first E30 was purchased for that. I put another 130k miles and a few hundred more into it and sold it (280k miles) a year or two later for $2k more than what I got it for. ;)

1 million dollars!
Honestly, Ive run out of projects on my E30 and dont know what to do with my time. Im still kinda afraid of playing golf again, so another cheap E30 project makes since. If I know you would be buyer, I would just sell for what I put into so you could drive home to NC.
Shoot me a PM if your interested, or want to talk it over.Last edited by mccor023; 08-18-2013, 04:45 PM.I love that people ask stupid questions so I dont have.
