Just scored driveway gold!

[smooth]

a bath! plenty of maintenance, and the required drop and wheels. I want to do a swap early next year, its funny things are strangely falling into place for a sr swap, but a m50 seems more reasonable

I skipped from the first page to the last but wanted to mention that if your belt is 5 years old it's time for replacement. it's not a thing to consider--it's mileage *or* age whichever coms first. and being as it sat there for however many years (even if just 2) you really don't know what is going on in there so belt, water pump, and seals for cheap insurance.

spending all that money on cosmetics won't be satisfying if you snap the belt in a thousand miles.

and nice bronzit ;)
I saw some mirrors up for sale on the boards I think for around $40.

Looks brand new after you washed it. Nice find! $200 is a steal. Just go buy the other guys bored out 2.7 and swap. Haha

Start a build thread and keep us posted. Some updated pics if recent work has been done would be nice. Great score and yet another E30 saved!

UPDATE, i have been fixing a few things, just did the brakes all the way around.
got a great deal on some wheels and suspension

[Turf1600]

Not feeling the gold on bronzit action.

[e30trooper]

looking good , time for some ellipsoids, you can paint the grills and mirrors with semi gloss black paint to clean it up a bit

[Dr.Claw]

oh, i plan on repainting the wheels. They were available locally in e30 offset, and i didnt really get to choose the color. im thinking either gunmetal/grayish or silver

[TimKninja]

Normally I hate 6 spoke wheels. But
That looks REALLY good!

[red_e30]

nice cleaning up well just change the color of the wheels and good to go
oh and also do timing belt

[dothadance]

wow 200 sounds like a good deal after you cleaned it up. not sure if you got it started (skipped pages), but good luck

[Dr.Claw]

oh yea, it was the main relay ($9) later and it drives great.

[BoostinEuros]

I really like the color and look of the new wheels!
