Thanks guys, I am extremely happy with how it came out.

Today I am happy that I had some free time to get out and the weather was nice so I chose to take the E30. No good pics though, but she’s running great

Another nice day (rain coming again later this week, so hiding her in the garage)

Today I was able to go get my VIN Verification done and get my plates. Also decided to throw on that BMW of Chapman plate that I got with the Jetta. Seems to suit the car well....


I also spent some time working on the front valence to get it to fit properly, and its not perfect but its getting closer.

thatphysicsguy happened to be in town so I offered him the keys to the car. Naturally he took it up to Newcombs



Glad he was able to take a pic in front of the sign because I think Im going to list on Bring a Trailer soon

[2mAn]

Well, this chapter looks like its going to close a little earlier than anticipated...



Went and took some pics, a few videos and have submitted it to Bring a Trailer.



I simply didnt get any traction on the rental and while it COULD pick up come summertime, the cars in the garage are sitting a LOT right now. Plan is to get it listed and sold while the 90-day smog window is still active for CA Smog. Its been a nice car, but I simply had a plan for this car and I have to stick to it... I will link the auction when it goes live, hopefully sooner than later!

haha it was never going to be a keeper, sadly. Its liquidation time in the 2mAn household, so I have an auction ending today on BaT, and this will be next in line. Once I get the 16v Benz going, another sedan will be on the chopping block... if the Benz impresses me I might sell the 'better' DD, but if Im smart I will sell the 16v.

After that... who knows

How much are you expecting? Or will you be happy with $$$

I'm hoping it will clear $8000, expecting it to fall in the 10-12 range. We'll see. Either way, its gotta go. Wife sees 4 old cars at the house and is losing patience. Ideally I get back to 2, then sneak in a 3rd that Im collecting the pennies for.

At that sale price he can just buy two more right off of BaT.
