Congrats OP
The least you could do is offer the kid who helped you find the car a cash reward. I mean honestly, give him 1grand for helping you find it, isn't going to break you. Given how much that thing in rough shape is worth (even a cleaned up shell is worth 10-15g's).
Pay it forward, do the right thing. I'm sure you'll make his dayComment

I'm not justifying anything, I'm just saying I think that's what he meant. Tbh I probably woulda done the same. If the kid was interested, he woulda pursued the car and wouldn't have been so open about it.Originally posted by flyboyxhow about if i yank the anal beads out of your ass like i'm trying to pull start a chain saw?Originally posted by Northernbeer is my new liver cleanse.

OP doesn't owe the kid anything more than a 'thank you'. Kid should've known to keep his mouth shut, and who says the kid would've been able to track the owner down anyway?Comment

This^ can almost garuntee the kid didn't even know value of the thing nor anything about it. A thank you and ride in the car when it's finished is all that I would want.Comment

I could see it either way. The nice OP would be to pay the kid, but he doesn't have to. I probably would have given the kid some cash. Depends on the kind of person OP is. Some people are more giving than others, but that's just how some people are.Originally posted by flyboyxhow about if i yank the anal beads out of your ass like i'm trying to pull start a chain saw?Originally posted by Northernbeer is my new liver cleanse.

Great story, OP. You certainly put in work just to track down the owner, I'm looking forward to what you'll do with the actual car once the build up begins.For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!Originally posted by mbonanniI hate modded emtree, I hate modded cawrz, I hate jdm, I hate swag, I hate stanceyolokids, I hate bags (on cars), I hate stuff that is slowz, I hate tires.

stop threadjacking this thread with whiny posts about paying the kid and how much he owes him. sheesh.Comment

^LOL. I'd give the kid like a $100 giftcard or something.
Back on topic, does a swapped S14 (non original VIN) really help in the car's value?
I mean, it doesn't match vins...and that right away would sink value, right?...
Not that I think value should be an issue with this car. Enjoy the damn car.

Was hoping all this activity was with E30 M3 restoration information, pictures and videos.
Instead it is holier than thou, jealous, i know what is good for you, if i were you bickering. STFU.
On with the M3 resto.Comment

I don't think it would SINK values, but in general, the more original the car is, the more it will eventually be worth. People pay top dollar for originality and concours readiness--stuff like having an original sparkplug wrench in the toolkit and OE appearance. Stuff like 18" BBS RS do not enhance the value of an investment car.Comment
