I'm a bit excited because..
Well let me give you the coles notes of what's been going on.
I live with my mom, brother and dog, money is tight. I work full time and goto school.
I have a diploma in Law Enforcement, nothing special, never did anything with it because it wasn't a road I wanted to walk down. I decided to take social work after 2 weeks of that, I decided that wasn't for me also.
I've always wanted to take Mechanical Engineering design and draft and should have taken it but I didn't have the pre-requisits to get it. I went to the school to look into it and see if they could make an exception. Turns out they had a couple open spots, and I could take the pre-requisit (Grade 12 physics). So I got accepted in as a mature student. Turns out I needed a insane laptop for AutoCad (which you really don't but they're nazi's). So I borrowed 1800$ from my dad and went out and bought the laptop I needed. Now i'm poor and leads me to the story.
I picked the the 300$ 318is, tore it apart, it isn't driveable, I need about 2000$ to put it where I want it, but winter is coming so screw that.
My ETA took a dump on me, started pissing oil, idling like a bag of shit and stalling all the time.
I've been looking for an engine locally for about a week, everyone wants 500$ for a M20B25 with ecu and harness or M20B27. I'm like fuck that shit.
My buddy's dad has a 325, i've never known much about it just that he has one. Cool beans.
My buddy had a MK3 Golf, piece of shit, shit out on him, his dad gave him the 325 till he got a new car. His dad picked up a truck and didn't want the 325 back, so he didn't want it and bought a 2001 VR6 jetta. He text's me today and asks if i'd know anyone who would want to buy it because he knows I love e30's, I'm like "i'll come take a look at it, I need the engine, how much would he want for it." He says 'About 500$ but for you probably a lot less maybe 300.'
Holy Jesus on a bike!
So here's the kicker, it's a 88 4 door Super ETA, auto. So it's a Super ETA and hasn't been beaten on, he said it has a little bit of rust, and a small tear in the passenger seat and might need new tires.
Wicked sauce!
So I'm going to grab it today no matter what then determine whether or not to switch my suspension, wheels, brakes, and tranny over or to swap the engine into mine..
Pictures to follow.
