did it come with the factory spoiler or something? looks like the trunk holes are filled.

looks like a great platform to start with though :)

Yes, it did come with factory wing I guess, because if you see carefully, the trunk, in effect, it's filled the hole where it should be mounted with some bonda and paint.

Yes, it waffleswaffleswaffles slook whole better with the wing in it's place like my Euro M3 wich bought last year.

:D

Nice pick up. I'm sure you'll rescue her and treat her right. How rare are E30 M3's in Peru? BTW, did the tow truck rip the bumper cover? doesn't look broken in the before pics.

I will leave her stock and in the most perfect condition I can, then I think I will have to dicede what to do, sell the euro or sell the US one. If someone in the future offer me a reasonable price for it (in any part) won't be mine anymore:(

So, starting to look for parts required as are broken-worn, who knows where can I get a shiftknob like the stock one new and good price? Who knows the P/N for it?

Here is another small update. Pulled off the injectors, some ultra sonic clean up and then I tested them to be sure are OK.

Ultrasonic clean



Now the leak test performed at 3 BAR, you can see here that the injectors 1,2,3 &4 (at the right side) or the "shiny" ones after a clean up, didn't show any sign of wear or leak. The other two , 5 & 6 injectors that are darker color, are also from a S14 engine, that came with a fuel rail and new FPR that bought used from somewhere, and looks like they are not quite good since leak a bit, one of them mostly..



A closer view (this was w/o ultrasonic clean for the darker used injectors that came with my new FPR and fuel rail)



And finally, after another ultrasonic clean for the darker injectors, I tested them for leaks and still one of them leak quite bit , another makes a very small bubble and the other 2 are fine.

Some more update.

Here are some shots of the interior of how I found it and after some care and love is back in good shape. The leather is still the OEM and wasn't upholstery with new leather. The shift knob was wraped with new leather, as well the hand brake. Also was stiched the back seat where the worn stich was broken a bit.

The front valance-bumper was fixed and painted, although, the car will be repainted all once the euro is ready to hit the streets.

The rims were lip polished and painted the center bit darker ( I'm sick of the classic silver color look) and the job cost only about 70-80 us dollars for 4 wheels, not bad price.


Before:














After:















The hand brake in leather, it will get more shiny after some use and will match the shine of the OEM leather behind it.






The rims...









More photos of random stuff to come....
