    325e: Augusta, GA Pull-A-Part

    Hey Guys,

    Sad day. My $900 E30 I've been driving for three years cracked a head and began eating coolant by the gallon when I was about five hours from home. Unable to drive it home, I ended up having to sell it to the Pull-A-Part where I broke down: Augusta, Georgia. The address is 327 SandBar Ferry Rd.

    The car is schwartz over cardinal. Sports interior, but the driver's seat is really bad. Passenger seat, back seat, door cards good. The car has the following:
    • Vogtland springs (bought new and installed in summer 2012)
    • Tokico shocks (same)
    • 16" Style 5 wheels (I think). They're chrome, but I clear-plastidipped them to make them look like brushed aluminum. No one could tell. In the pic they are terribly dirty.

    I'm sure this stuff could be had for cheap. I hated to give the car to the yard, but I didn't have much choice under the circumstances. I'd like for someone to get this stuff.

            Unfortunately, no. Just looks like that in the pics. The wheels are 4-lug Style 5 clones or something (they came on the car).

              Ah I see now. They almost look like they've been redrilled from the pics. Either way, someone should for sure take some parts from that car. It looks straight!

                Y'all should! This car stood me well, an old warhorse that drove me to South Georgia and back three times this summer. As well as Delaware, Western NC, and Virginia. I really liked the spring/shock combo. I would have kept the car for an engine swap if I wasn't so far from home.

                          Good! Would hate to see all that go to waste!

                          That sucks that you had to sell it to pullapart. :sad:
                          I know! I bought an E28 to replace it and I'm going through E30 withdrawal. Feels like I'm driving a container ship.
