    Recent pick up

    So A friend gave me a call on thursday saying he had another friend who needed to get rid of his e30. Long story short, come sunday and it's mine. 600 buckssss

    It has a weird engine problem though. It's a ETA black with a IS head, and it wont start. It turns over, but it just doesn't seem like it has enough power to start. I'll try and get a video tomorrow.









    After a quick clay bar and wax



    And since it is going to be a track sluttt



    But this is my DD so this car's not even going to get insured untill it's warm.



    Not bad for a 18 year old haha

    check your plug wires and make sure they are in the right sequence.

                  Good to see you over here now. SW loads slow from time to time.

                  Get that video up and buy yourself a Bentley manual. It will save tons of time and headaches.

                        Nice score. That engine combo makes good enough power to make you happy. A lot of people hate on it.

                        More Volvo pics please. :)
