For sale is my baby of 4 or so years, it started life as a 86 ES and has been my DD since the day I got it until about 2 months ago. It’s always been reliable when it had the old ETA and with the new 2.7i. Never been stranded by it and has always treated me very well. I have since bought another project and really don’t want her to sit. Bought the SETA and swapped the head for a pre-built one from a guy here local. Full 1.3 motronic as mentioned below. Runs great, always starts, runs cool (due to low temp thermostat). Exhaust is all brand new no leaks, little loud and deep until 4k then howls past then. The MarkD tune is for 93 octane, 7200rpm, and made a huge difference in power. All suspension has less than 10k miles on it, and is perfect for highway or DD (not super still and doesn’t scrape).
Needs: The car runs and drives perfect, the only things the car needs is cosmetic (not really important to me at the time) but it’ll need paint, at least the pass fender. The ES front bumper has been cracked and fixed by the PO many times but holds together, includes original OEM fog lights(!!). The original cardinal interior is dried out and the front seats are bad under the covers, but door cards, headliner and carpet are all still good.
Included with the sale will be all the original parts that came off the car (if you want them) and the original dash and bottle caps. And any E30 parts you want (just not enough room for e30 stuff and big block Chevy parts any more).
