      Damn good find. I myself have experience with body work and it is true what your dad says it is very easy. I plan on fixing my dents over spring break when its nicer out. Amazing find for $200! Please keep us posted with the updates! I am subbing!

        Funny how the PO just put it in the too hard basket and wanted to get rid of it. Thanks!

                  Today was a good day... finally drove my very own e30:D

                  So after fucking around, ummin and ahhing i bit the bullet and bought a new ecu. 114 bucks shipped from the UK which i thought was very decent indeed. Plugged it in and guess what happened...
                  Victory!



                  Old 152 ontop of its new home...


                  new 172 doing its business


                  So it drives nice, brakes good, gearbox is smoooooth. Im a happy camper.

                  After abit more sanding this shall pretty much be ready for paint!



                  So where does that leave me? well it needs two front tires to start, the sunroof panel needs to be replaced as well as sourcing a new rear bumper.

                  Then i need to work out what the deal is with the heater is (currently bypassed, so i assume the cores dead) then after a service it should be ready for the roadworthiness.

                  Im excited :rofl:
