lucky dog, i talked to them about it a 2 months ago. lemme know if you need help with anything. id like to talk to you about some of your old engine parts...:)

Thanks dude...def going to need help with the swap. As far as the M20 I'm thinking of keeping it and building it up for another project(turbo maybe)

[pilotskillse30]

Def not fixing it...just swapping...vaders are being cleaned...trying to do all seats together but i'll do fronts for 550 plus ship

Lol lucky bastard. I thought 1200 for a complete s52/zftranny/3.23lsd was a deal!!!

[Zacm829]

Are you going to use the vaders?

If not how much do you want for them :)

[Huff]

DAMN!! Great find!! By parting out the M3 and the old M20, you'll come out ahead for sure.. Good work and good luck with the swap(s)!!

I guess $1500 is good money for the parts, but that car is not worth fixing.

I don't think he meant that he would fix the M3?

[e30s52]

/\ He isnt fixing it from the sounds of it. He is just going to swap the motor and part the rest.

Gl with your project.

You guess? I'd say it certainly was a good buy!

Thats what I had to sell my wife on(approving authority)..the fact that we can still make a good buck even after I take what I need.

lucky dog.

i bet that m3 will pay for itself once you part it out.
nice find.

[pilotskillse30]

Gonna leave that crappy color on the valve cover?

didn't think so...

nice score! pics, post some story of the swap. Even thought everyone has done it, we all love to watch others work.

Nope I'm going with either carbon fiber covers or something custom.

The 20 year old who owned it did all he work to the engine...vanos update, cams, timing stuff, all the seals then a few days later lost control of the car and hit a palm tree here in savannah at 45mph so the story goes. The car had been at the shop were the work was done for almost a year and he never claimed the car..marshall was going to tow the car but rather than lose on a great deal I was lucky enough to get the owners info and talk to him, he wanted 3000 but since in less than 24hrs he wasn't going to have either car nor money I offered 1500...no choice but to agree.
