Yeah, I'm fucking insane.
I did it again, but this time, with more valves, and two more doors.
I got another "Project" of sorts.
I introduce to R3v
The 1997 M3-4Door-5Speed. This time an E36 flavor, painted in Cosmos Black Metallic, and inside is Magma interior. 1 of 59 made, so she's a rare bird.
How to properly say MAGMA:
Roughly 180k miles on the clock, for the low price of $9,000.00
It's no yellow civic, but it's an affordable, if not the most desirable flavor, of a classic car.
I've always wanted one, and so, I'll give this one a try.
The good:
This car has been gone over mechanically. I have a lot of pictures from the previous owner.
Rear main seal, new clutch, transmission seals, detents, new guibo, new motor/trans mounts, new suspension bushings, new shocks/springs, new wheel bearings, valve cover gasket fixed, oil pump housing seal fixed, new plugs and coils, new pads, rotors, and brake lines, and new fluids. It's really sorted mechanically.
The bad:
Mostly cosmetic, the interior needs a good detail, and a new radio.
The rear spoiler, bumper and hood need some paint attention.
The tint is awful, it's cracking and needs to go.
The good with the bad:
It needs a lot of small trim pieces, but the owner has purchased those, and will include them with the car, all I need to do is install them.
So here she is!
MAGMA
Few of the repairs:
This is about a third of all the photos I have.
The gentleman in the red isn't the seller, that's a fellow E30 enthuasiust.
He has an S54 swapped and caged E30 track car, and an immaculate E30 M3. He's also probably one of the most knowledgeable people I know of, who isn't a professional mechanic, so I am confident the work has been done properly.
So, I pick it up on Friday, and I'll post more pictures of the car overall and start getting a plan together to get the paint addressed.
