Hey,
Im 15 and have been looking for an e30 as a project car for when I get my license; Something me and my dad could mess around with. I wanted one with a 2.5l and not the eta engine but found and eta that sounds like it might be a good start. The seller claims no holes or rust. Its a 5spd with 244,xxx miles on it with a new clutch, brakes and tires. The guy bought it for 500 and says he put 600 in. The paint isnt too great (hopefully those links work) but we have family that does paint work. I asked about the suspension and cooling. He doesnt know about the cooling but the suspension is good. It was up for 1,000 but he said he'll give it to me for 900. That gives me a a decent amount left over for an m20b25 swap and the repairs.
Its 2 hours away so I wanted some knowledgable impressions before we go drive all the way out there. Like I said before I want to put an m20b25 in it so Ill be reading up on thise swaps. Do you think its a money pit, or do you think he kicked it off to a good start? Thanks for any opinions.
Does that look like aftermarket exhaust to you?
