            Damn, this is what happens when I stop looking for a project on craigslist... At least somebody who enjoys these cars got it.

            You need to bring it to a TAMSCC autocross when it's rolling!

              Oh hey I didn't even realize you were somewhat local. Shoot me a PM if you ever need a hand.

                Sweet find. Since it's not your only car and your planning on replacing the engine and trans anyway, might as well do an m50 swap. Start looking for wrecked e34s

                        Nice clean body. You should've done a 5sp swap.
