dump the gf

An old 02, especially one in that condition is not something for the faint of heart..

Give it thirty years and then I'll still tell you no. One of my customers brought us a car in much better shape and it's going to cost him about $50k to get it where he wants it and then it will only be worth $30k at the most. You'll never win at this game unless you don't have to do any major bodywork. You can buy replacement panels but they don't fit anymore so it's almost as much time to fix the old ones as to replace with new, hence why bodywork is bad. Keep your E30 maintained, don't get any tickets, finish school and get a good job. Then start thinking about a 2002...

You mentioned about making an offer. My shop restores these cars all day long and I'm offering you some advice. We do everything from the basic fix-up to the complete resto or race car and no matter what you'll be so far over your head you'll be able to lick your own ass. 2002s are awesome cars and can be somewhat affordable if done right but you need a clean base to start with. If you're serious and find one you want advice on I'll be more then happy to answer any questions you have.

Ive seen a lot shinier ones that were in alot worse shape. If I didn't just just put my project vert on the road I would go for it myself. I bet once you wash that car it will look much more promising.

I gotcha. I mean id make an offer either to make it into a cheap eurotrasher with a new motor + essentials, or buy it if there was a good market for part out old 02's

Depends on body rot really...

Buy it. Either jump it or set up a funeral with a 21 gun salute.
