    To be honest, I wouldn't spend 10k on body work for an E30 either. 5k maybe, if I really liked it, and it was nice otherwise, but not 10k. Although prices are going up, they aren't likely going to go up enough to offset that expense, unless he got a really good deal on it to start with.

    Buy it.
    Sounds logical to me.

    OP - do it for the gram. Cambergang windshield decal. Kill the game. Vape hard.

    OP asked for opinions, but not that opinion, just the ones that are the same as his opinions.

Around here if something only has a little surface rust from rock chips but no holes anywhere, that's an instant buy for me regardless of paint condition or interior. Getting a simple paint job, replacing an engine, or replacing an interior is practically child's play compared to be forced to completely strip sections of a car down to bare metal in order to cut out the rust and weld in new bits. It's just an uphill battle.


    there not so bad, but repairing rust, paying for a paint job, replacing interier, is just too much you know? in that case if i need to do all this i can just buy a junkyard motor, a shell, and new interier, paint for as well as near the same price id be spending to fix this.

    If you only understood hsilgnE you'd have understood what I said, but noooo that'd be too difficult. Also, it's silly to criticize someone for not understanding English when you clearly have a limited grasp on it yourself.

    I get that you may want other people to chime in, but really, why bother in a case like this?

    At the moment I think I am just going to save up more and get cleanest e30 i can find.
