:rofl:

You NEED the valence for the M-Tech I kit n00b!!

Damn!!! I guess its part of the learning process.

[danny4nasty]

^ can you make your sig a little larger. i didnt notice it. also, if you want to advertise graphic design, why not do something a little more interesting with the typography? like mix and match helvetica neue 107 extra black condensed with helvetica neue 33 thin extended for a more dramatic effect.



danny, i hope you realize you need a euro valence to mount a mtech1 kit. and it looked like it had good condition fog lights. you know how expensive good condition euro fog lights are to source? and you need them for mtec1.

go back and pray everything is still there.

Well quick update that junkyard's about 5 min away from my house on highway 50.

Euro grills are gone, didn't have enough funds last time to get em the first time anyway.

And the valence was far way too rusted to deem salvageable, but I did pull the fog lights wasn't aware of their value I got em both 20 bucks.

I guess i'll be in the market for a euro valence. and misc little plastic pieces for the euro bumper someone told me blunt tech was a good source for that.

None the less overall I'm happy with my find, coming to a grand total of $110 for front and rear euro bumpers and a set of fogs.

Damnnnnn im really depressed right now. All pap and u wrench gets here are boring e30s with nothing special pre trashed by vandals that get there before i do. The nicest thing ive seen at one is trashed grey sport seats....oh and a 330ci sport when with the face ripped off by a ardtard. By the time i get to any the havc is destroyed. Cluster and needles spread and broken on the floor, seats ripped up, wheels taken off and scraped by junkyard, lights busted, and anything worth anything already gone. But i found e36 window switches :] the only ones there were the green ones, so thats a bad deal anyways. Lucky you guys have decent folks around you that know how to treat junk/treasure and not trash cars.

Intersting.......... Huff pulled a full RD suspension, swaybars, and Billys out of a car at PAP on moreland last month. He got all of it for a really great price. Good cars come up every so often, you just need to be diligent, and get lucky every once in a while.

Thanks I took your advise. I think it looks much better, I also resized it sorry about the size lol.

I knew i shouldve gone to the moreland one, i was by there the other day and didnt even know it. i guess i shouldve gotten the hint when i picked up my valence from a guy around that area and saw 10 e30s on my way home lol. Ill stop by there saturday i guess and look around. I need a exhaust furreal.

[ButtJuice]

Not really rare, but I got black 4dr cards, black carpet (oddly doesn't have dead pedal vinyl, just plain carpet) & ski-pass rear seat. Now I just need black sport seats to complete the interior swap!

[kronus]

Damn!!! I guess its part of the learning process.

you don't need the metal valence for mtechI.

[danny4nasty]

you don't need the metal valence for mtechI.

Care to elaborate? So what is needed then?

[e30BMart]

Full black interior swap (door & rear panels, and all seats along with a new front center console section). All for $40. Only 1 small tear in the drivers bolster (much smaller in person then in the pics). Just picked up a dent free trunk for $35 to replace his hail damaged trunk.

Are you kidding? My friend bought front and rear seats only for 650$.

[qccabrio]

The M-tech body kit, w/trunk & lip spoiler $150 He didnt have the front bumper. Someones local junk from his trashed car he left in his barn. Go figure. The M tech 1 rear trunk spoiler I found at Pick & Pull for $20.




With smaller lip spoiler then with M tech 1


The M tech 1 rear trunk spoiler I found at Pick & Pull for $20.

[CabrioPunk]

[truekid]

Scored a 3.46 LSD out of an auto e28 for 60. Also cabrio seats for 60 in blue.

Back in 2008 at PAP South near Ft. Gillem I found a grey market 318i. Got euro bumpers/grills/crack free dash for less than $200. Best PAP day ever.

[AirplaneBuilder]

Not a junkyard find but i scored a 87 325is parts car once for $450 with new h&r sport springs, new billy sport shocks, mtech 1 wheel, racing dynamics headers uninstalled laying in trunk, extra set of bottle caps with new tires, 3.73 lsd, extra hood and fender, new heat shield header gaskets, valve cover gasket, and a whole box of random parts. I kept a lot of stuff and parted the car out and got all my money back and then sold the car for another $500 profit :)
