        I can see rust in the pictures? And the paints not looking too minty? What am I missing that's keeper about this car. Beyond the E30 factor.
        Need a part? PM me.

          Aside from the paint missing under the kidney (good thing thats very easily repairable) and the fact that the bumper is cracked (ordering a new one), it is mint. Resprayed 30k miles ago. I don't have good pics to show how nice it is, this is the best one I got. This is about 6 weeks of not getting washed.

                  I had 370k on my first e30, changed the clutch at 340k ish. Looked like it was the first one, but does not matter if someone replaced with OEM.

                    Even with your original clutch at 500k miles..I don't know why you would feel comfortable with that.
