This Is Randomness(and my build thread, I swear).

[lolcantturn]

Just thinking practically and realistically. Good luck.

You really think he cares about resale?

I think a rough car with a Ford 5.0 in it will be pretty rad. Much cooler than another clapped out M50 swapped car. If it gets completed that is.

This exactly, it has been done before but, it isn't common.

I mean this is coming from a guy who was and still is in the same position as Funfgan. I built my M50 bronzit being a poor ass 17 year old high schooler but I built it thinking in the future, I'm sure funfgan doesn't earn a lot of income like a lot of 17 year olds so seeing thousands of dollars that took you a WHILE to earn just go away is very disheartening. You might have "built" an E30 with a Ford engine in it, but at the end of the day, you're still a poor 17 year old that will never recoup his money..

I wouldn't be so against it if it was a clean shell, but it's the opposite of that.

Ford 302's are cool as fuck though.

I think everyone is routing for this kid because they just feel bad for him haha.

The majority of people who build e30's never fully recoup their money.

I have to say I am entertained that anyone would buy an e30 shallow of an M3 for resale value.

Exactly. We build these cars for our own purposes, not to make money off of them. Funfgan, good luck. I can't wait to see it running.

In it for the wrong reasons duder.

Possibly the best part of this whole thread besides the fail drift pictures, is the pictures of the gutted interior but the sound deadening tar still where the back seats used to be haha. Full race ftw.

Aren't you the one with the fish tank heater box?

Nope? I have a regular heater box in my turbo car.

Why do you guys care so much?

Why do you guys care so much?

Because reading this thread makes everyone else's cars seem 10 times nicer.

Not trying to be a dick, but here are some questions to consider:
1: Ultimately, what are your goals for this car?
2: You realize you're choosing a terrible, totalled platform of an e30 that was worth $800 maybe with the M42 due to the complete lack of interior and mangled exterior?
3: You are now putting a Ford motor in a BMW, which on paper is awesome, but 99% of all BMW enthusiasts hate cross-breed swaps nevermind a Ford in a BMW? It reduces resale value DRAMATICALLY.

1. Build a fucking monster, thats fun to drive, scares the shit out of old ladies
and pisses off my girlfriends father.
2. It had an interior, it had a pretty decent exterior, besides the dent. Main
It's a Cali car. I welcome you to come look at my car thoroughly and find
ANY trace of rust or rot.
3. Fuck purists. I'll paint my car metallic purple if I know it will piss off just
1 rich guy in an e92 m3. And resale value? Who cares? I have no plans to
rid of this thing. I have no reason to. I like to keep projects with me, so they
grow and get better and faster as I learn more. Anybody who is into cars(as
others have said) is in it for the wrong reason.

I'm not trying to come off as an "I <3 haters" kinda douche. If I do, I'm terribly sorry. I've gone through constant flack on here, and especially my local forum, for every little detail on this car. Who cares? I'm building it raise hell, and be as loud and fast as possible.

I just got a bunch of stuff in the mail though, pics in a few.
