What would one do with an E30 like this?

[swingard]

My first e30 was an eta that looked more screwed up than this for 800... I dumped another 1000 into it and drove the piss out of it for 2 more years.... You buy this car and drive the piss out of it and then you resell it for a better e30. Worn out e30's never truely die, they just get passed around like the village whore.

I'd buy it. Fix it up, enjoy it, sell it maybe. What's beyond repair on this car?

Strip it down, engine/tranny swap, spec e30 car.

Nothing's beyond repair, it's a matter of how much time, green to spare, and elbow grease someone has. If I didn't have my sights on a different project I'd consider something like this but locally...sure as shit I ain't driving that far to pick up that wreck ha.

I was actually completing asking what some of you would do with a car like this.
I'd personally like to make it into some sort of rally beater. Unfortunately insuring a car in NJ when you're 19 is expensive enough, adding this car to my e30 stable would make me broke haha.

Oh...I'd probably get it to reliablie running status, pay only liability insurance, no car payments, save up for a nicer car with stash of money on the side. Use newer car for commuting and then fix the e30 up for resto, racing, shenanigans, or just for the fun of fixing up an older car.

Somebody should buy this and turn it into a SUPER ETA.

My previous e30 was a super eta and I wanted to swap it to be a 327i, but at the time I lacked the funds and had to sell it...however, now...I would consider it for about $800 shipped to my house ha.

Repaint it, tranny swap, super eta, weaves. Sell it for 4k LOL.

[e30trooper]

so a ulgy auto eta will fetch 1k? WOW Then I should have no problem getting 1700 for my 327i that needs a block ( still runs but burns oil [rings] )

Sounds like my car....except I have late model bumper swap, vert/m3 sports gc's and a few other things......I still don't see myself getting 4k maybe 2k if I was willing to sell it.

M10 swap!
