To Save Or Not To Save this 323i

[ThatOneEuroE30]

If I could save mine you can save that. No true euro car should be scraped, mine should have been scraped with the amount of rust but its a euro. Everyone has 318's and 325's but how often are there 323's or 320's floating around I do it for the sake of having something different.

Eh, the fun and learning you'll get out of fixing it is totally worth it. Besides, it's $250. And it's a euro 323i.

No question here, go for it.

Buy it, take the bumpers, send remainder to metal crusher.

For what you'll spend to get it to good spec, you could just import one.

It doesn't look that far gone at all. But you can't really see the typical rust areas in those pictures.

But, the no title in WA may be an issue. I don't know the laws over there...

True. I believe it can still be titled luckily

If it was me I would save it. It is a rare euro e30 323i.

Exactly what I've been thinking. I just hate thinking about it getting scrapped when its a euro 323i

Yeah I gotcha. I already have an e30, this would be a second car. I'm 17 and this would just be a fun side project for me

It's quite a project, but don't let anyone discourage you, if you want that specific car, go for it, if you are flexible on models, find a $1000 base to start with in three times better the condition.

What's your budget and will you be doing most work yourself?

I'll be doing all the work myself and I don't really have a set budget yet. I do know that there is a local parts car that is still complete minus a blown headgasket and I can completely strip it for $350. Basically I could pretty much get every part I need minus engine stuff for $350. Then I'd have to rebuild the b23

[shameson]

I will say in honesty that car is pretty far gone. You would have to be really dedicated to saving it.

[Farbin Kaiber]

For that price it's worth it in scrap.

For two fitty?...Fuck ya

Yeah 250. That's what I was thinking too haha
