That's what I'm thinking. The coupe is so much cleaner and doesn't have half the problems that the sedan does with its body and suspension. I guess I'll just do that and part the four-door.

What, I thought that any eta engined cars were equipped with a 2.93, the es just had a LSD?.
Yes, thank you! hate seeing a clean car parted out.Originally I planned to just use some parts from it and part out the rest, but after seeing just how clean the interior was, and how little rust it had, I just couldn't bring myself to do that.Comment

Until 86 they had a 2.79 I believe (still LSD in the es model)
Both my e30s have the same production date! What a coincidence.Comment

Hey! Where in Florida are you? I am in Orlando right not for school but back home in Tampa, I have two getrag 260s and all the parts needed for a swap. I was going to swap my other E30 but I don't have time, room, or tools sufficient to do it right now. Both 260s are the early style that need the plate shifter, but I have an extra and anything is better than autotragic...
edit: and I think my E30 would give yours a run for it's money for title of "ugliest E30 on r3v."Comment

hey yeah I'm a bit out of Orlando, but it's not too far of a drive.
how much would you be willing to part with a 260 for? I have a 5 speed in the 4 door that I'll probably swap over, but just for an estimate.
do you have driveshafts as well?Comment

[quote=squidmaster;2732099]redid the center console tonight.
was going to leave it with the factory finish, but it was completely ruined by glue. I couldn't get it off with anything.
this is how mine was and i just sanded it down a tad bit and re sprayed it and it looks as good as new!sigpic

Bought canvas by the yard. Ripped out the old carpet completely, and laid the new stuff myself
Good idea on the sanding and painting BTW, maybe I'll just have to attempt that soonComment

I think I paid $50 in total for the fabric. I also got some other stuff.
In comparison I bought some nicer fabric to redo my sparco and I spent $70 on that. For only like 2 yards.... and some foamComment
