Ok a little about the story!
For over 10 years i looked for an E30 M3! Now there were times where i could afford one and there were times i couldn't. A few months ago there were two i had my eyes on one with the "ALPINA" swap and the other in VA beach area. I checked out the one with the "ALPINA" swap but it was a little out of my goals (way too much work) the one in VA beach was perfect, a little work to get done but still looked nice in other words i could go get starbucks with it! I talked to the wife about it and she said "OK Nat you have to many toys" at the time i had a 05 Jeep Wrangler LJ lifted,winch,big tires........ it was cool, a 2000 RC51 (mean f*ckin bike), 95 M3 and her daily driver 2010 335D. So she said "you have to get rid of one in other to get you DREAM CAR so i chose the JEEP! here it is
So i picked the one in VA beach! there were a few pics of the Craigslist add but i don't have them anymore. This is what it looked like when i picked it up!
Brought it home and then it sits like this
Now there are a few things that were part of the deal Kevin Chin custom interior + headliner. The PO gave me some upgrade parts and A NEEDING OF ROD BEARINGS (I was told it needed those) Anyways i bought it and paid a pretty dime + a nickle!!Anyways...
THE TO DO LIST....
Install Headliner
Install new seat upholstery
Install shift linkage bushings
Check Fuel system supply ( it will have trouble starting its fuel system related)
Cooling system having an issue for the aux fan fuse (keeps blowing a fuse..cant remember the number of it)
Shakes like a MOFO on the highway ( Need to put it up on a lift)
Make sure all parts are there for the headliner install (i think i'm missing a few parts)
Radio, cluster stopped working! (it was a fuse that it looked ok but it wasn't i bought and installed an SI board, installed new radio and all)
OOOOHHH the ROD BEARINGS........ I had it checked for OIL PRESSURE..... ITS OK!!!!! (for now)
That's it!!!!!!!
