    Well, it's goodbye for a little while.

    Alright guys, so here is the story. A few weeks back my upper radiator hose slipper forward and hit my fan, of course shredding it. I towed the car home, replaced all the hoses and the thermostat with the mindset of "might as well". I then of course bled the system thoroughly but there was a very stubborn air bubble so I left the car and planned to return tomorrow.

    My uncle trying his best to be helpful tried to bleed the system after I left.

    The result was a stripped thermostat housing, and a blown head gasket. I don't have the time or money to fix it so I picked up an s13 (for cheaper than the repair of course) and have been driving that ever since. I have a baby on the way so I'm trying to save everything I make.

    The e30 has been parked for the past two weeks and it seems best to probably sell it off.

    It's a 1991 brillaintrot AUTO with tan interior and 14x,xxx miles, brand new Bilstein Sports that I put on literally the week of the incident. I have NIB GC's and a NIB full front end rebuild ( control arms, tie rod ends, etc)

    What do you think it's wort if I don't part it out? Or should I just park it forever and let it waste until i can spare the money?

    Sorry to hear, but you could probably fetch anywhere near $1500-$2500 if the body/interior are in decent condition. The only way to find out is to put it out there and see what the consensus is.

    Good luck with whatever you do.

      I bought my 1991 5sp 325i sedan with a "blown HG" for $500. See sig.

      It really just had a leaking VCG and half moons, but the PO didn't know that. Had Bilsteins sports and spring all around. Full suspension overhaul, everything.

      Guess it matters what you want to get out of it, and how soon you want it gone.....prices can be everywhere.
