Long time lurker, first and unfortunately probably last time poster. I got into this project back in college, but a few years later I've pretty much lost all motivation to continue wrenching on it. Looking to avoid sending this car to the junk yards when they reopen and passing the rust-free torch off to someone who can finish the fight.
FS is a 87 325(e) with ~230k miles (odo stuck at 197k) with its original m20b27 engine halfway out and a mostly disassembled. Parts for the swap included are:
$2500 and this 'rona project is all yours to finish and beat around on. Pics can be found in the drive below. PM me for more pics on specific stuff. Thanks!
FS is a 87 325(e) with ~230k miles (odo stuck at 197k) with its original m20b27 engine halfway out and a mostly disassembled. Parts for the swap included are:
- M30B35 long block w/ ~130k miles out of a 91 E34 auto
- Getrag 260 transmission out of a E34 manual w/ ~90k miles
- M30 gasket refresh kit
- E28 thin radiator and required hoses
- Stock supporting components (AC comp, PS pump, Alternator)
- New starter
- Full wiring harness
- E34 Throttle cable (Needed for swap)
- Garagistic M30 engine mounts
- G260 short shift kit
- Non m Z3 steering rack (shortest lock to lock for an e30 swap)
- E12 single mass flywheel + sachs clutch kit (Lightest oem flywheel for a M30)
- Unsoldered Megasquirt DIY PNP engine management system (Tuning potential)
- Flywheel bolts for the E12/E28 flywheel
- Small bits to get the Z3 rack compatible with the e30 steering input shaft
- E-torx bolts for the transmission (Might be able to use the old ones off the m20? not sure)
- Full exhaust
- Electric Fan
- Battery
- Engine mount bushings
- If you don't want to solder the DIYPNP, you'll need an e34 ECU
- Probably more
- I'm the 4th owner, car failed visual during smog due to second cat and is Non-Op
- The body's in very "Accepable" shape. Clearcoat could definitely use polish and there are scratches and dents all around (Including a major one in the rear driver side fender. Previous owner loved plastidip, so the front and rear diving boards need to be stripped (he also covered the fog lights, fun stuff)
- Did I mention the previous owner loved plastidip? The entire underbody of the car is covered in the stuff. Interior inspection of the usual rust areas (battery tray in trunk, driver side footwell) show that it's good, but you might find some that I missed.
- Interior dash has cracks, but is in AMAZING condition. I'd bet there's late model year cars with much worse interiors
- Car isn't running, so purchaser will need to bring a trailer and preferably a truck to carry all of the parts
