Hey guys - I've been a member of the board here for nearly 4 years and finally took the plunge a couple of weeks ago.
Purchased a '91 5 speed 325 convertible from forum member evandael up in Pittsburgh:
Buying from another member was a great experience, Eric spent time washing the car and going over all the little tips and tricks - it was clear he valued the car.
If I had to do it again though, I'd try to avoid driving through snow and rain on the way back!
A couple days later, on my way to work - something caught my eye:
This is a '91 calypso vert, 5 speed, 318i that had been parked inside a chainlink fence for nearly a year - torn top, motor is pulled apart and some pieces are in the trunk - but I got it for a steal.
How crazy is that - I bought two e30 convertibles, both calypso, both 5 speeds, both '91s within 6 days of one another! My wife wasn't happy, but she'll get over it.
Not sure exactly what I want to do with it yet - maybe swap the bumpers and trunk lid to my 325 to fix up some cosmetic issues. Then possibly part it out.
Just getting started - I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions.
Got around to washing off all the salt and grim this past weekend:
Here's to warmer weather!
