I saw this online yesterday and was thinking about picking it up for a project. I sold my last e30 1.5 years ago and wouldnt mind getting another.
My concern is with the i head on the 2.7 bottom end. I'm not too knowledgable about this topic so I wanted to know what I should check for if I go take a look at the car. Im not sure if this guy build the car, or the past owner so I figured I should read up on the topic so I dont buy a half done motor build. I know its got some stupid shit done to the car, but I can clean it up easily.
