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 greatSimon

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.

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!Simon

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.Originally posted by moatilliatta View Post
After that... who knowsSimon

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

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.Originally posted by prisonerofdoom83 View PostSimon
