    Its my old car! Nice man I thought it was never going to leave the towing companies lot. I dont know how the water got in there as I didnt have any problems with that at all over the 6 months I owned the car. It was never a show car, but it runs and drives. Hope your happy with it.

      I actually gave my depos away (I would never feel good about selling them to anyone), but I had another set that was broken which still has good brackets and other misc peices.

      the car is pretty much what I expected, as I said everything I cared about is functional. :)

        Shoot, if it were me, i'd fix it up just enough so i could drive it. We're supposedly going to get a lot of snow here, and would appreciate an ix like that as beater. But that's just me. I always have faith in restoring a car back to full function.

          yeah, I thought about putting my auto into it and making it a driveable winter beater. I don't have any final plans for it once I take the transmission though, so it could live on to see another day. I don't really need two of these cars though, I'd rather have a 318is as a second E30 honestly.

                    Damn I never realized how haggard that car was. If you shipped it across the country, you must have gotten a hell of a deal on it.

                              I heard from a few guys around my area (a private as well a dealer tech) that the 88's seemed to have the best reliability. There are also a few 88's on the board with high miles.

                                Well I'll be damned. I was wondering what the hell happened to your old car, Fielding. Last I heard we were selling it to Nando and he was shipping it out there. Guess it all went through finally ;)

                                The car isn't as rough as the pictures let on - at least not in my opinion. Then again, I drove an es with rust holes in the roof, so maybe my judgement is a bit clouded ;)

                                Congrats on getting a great parts car, your car will be a totally different machine without the slushbox!
