Bring a Trailer Auctions, E30 edition

[Northern]

There's some ebay listing screenshot in the pictures. Kit was apparently $1500 in April of this year, but you can see the sort of yellow fiberglass backside in the tiny picture...

Not worth whatever savings there was over the Mrbodykits/garagistic/CAtuned stuff.

It looks like the sides are glued on, so will just crack off.

Which M tech replica kit is that? The front end looks pretty bad in pictures so it must look bad in person. I do think that with a reasonable drop and some round head lights it might look pretty decent from 20'.

The paint (like how is there recent overspray everywhere, yet the hood is peeling by the badge and door edges/quarter/etc are all messed up) and that MT2 rep kit looks reallllly rough in the pics. Taifun front end is fun, but a little weird - but easy to fix.

The seats look spectacular, but then what the fuck is going on with that shifter, hood badges, no washer bottle cap... easy shit to fix, so why skip the cheap stuff?

OOF.

Look like it could have been a salvaged survivor.

looks like the owner realized he paid too much for what it is and is trying to get out of it. it didn't meet reserve and i doubt it's ever going to get more than was bid this time.

Yup, and this is the challenge with buying a car over the internet. Seeing a car in person can help to avoid a lot of obvious red flags, especially when the pictures mostly lean on an "artistic" angle VS basic pic

I cant believe how much this went first go, the lower window rust kept me out, Plus way too much, Not enough photos.

Wow... how did this car pull 29k? It was half complete and ultra sketchy....

Definitely one that will likely be back again soon... or sold on FB Marketplace. It was pretty bad, but who knows... this next one should do much better. Looks more sorted on initial look
