    Thanks man.

        Up to 1500$ cash for a decent running e30. I don't care what it looks like as long as its not a vert and it runs well. Closest to 28269 is a plus

              Thanks redcar, he texted back and said if I had any more questions to just text him and then I got no response. This all happened yesterday.

                    Looks like a pretty good deal.
                    Hope the clutch and LCAs are still good

                    + side is plastic bumpers and manual gear box

                      Yeah its got me thinking, I went to look at with thought of getting it running and flipping it. I am still weighing if the body is in good enough shape to make it worth while.

                        The fender could either be removed and tapped out back into shape or replace with another. The same with the door. Or just do filler and matching paint. Most paint shops can do a color match via VIN and put it in a spray can.

                        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. ;)

                          How much would you be asking?

                            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.
