Ok the set up: My dad says now that I'm in the oilfield I should look into buying a new car, maybe one within 7-10 thousand dollar range. I say I don't want a new car but I'll gladly drop that much into my 90 325 ic. What would you guys buy if you had a bone stock e30?

Idk what your time-frame is modding wise, but I would NOT drop 10k into my e30 like that.
New car means long term payments.
pretend your monthly payments are $350. It will take you 29 months to reach 10k in monthly payments. How nice is that? New car & making payments while still earning payroll checks.
If you still want to go your route, I'd do ALL the maintenance first then refresh the suspension. Nothing beats cruising in an E30 that feels freshly well put together even if it looks like shit cosmetically.

Sure, there's no definition of a 10k e30, but if you buy one that's worth about that much (whatever that means) you'll have one of the best cars you can own for the money.RIP: Delphin '89 E30 with S50 swap and lots of goodies :'(
