So here is the skinny on my e30. Title comes from the manner in which I became the lucky new owner of the car of my dreams. As a kid, I had the pleasure of caring for a neighbors 1989 white auto vert. That is a long story that I will save for another thread. Later in life I bought a 2dr auto that I later found out was in a BAD rear end accident. SOLD and forgotten! Onto my now Zino 5spd vert. I was riding my bike around one day and came across the car at a local yard sale. Long story short, I went back 3-4 times, and two test drives later, behold, I was the proud owner of a 1987, advertised as an 88 5spd vert. At the time I was more nervous, but I felt the deal was to good to pass. 175k, tons of receipts (that I read after the buy), and a good feeling after long talks with the PO, I drove the car home. EVERY thing works, down to the ODO! Progress will likely be slow, but consistent. On to some pics, which include some progress. I work out of my fathers garage, you will see his 65 chevelle in a pic. He has been gracious enough to allow me to store the car in his driveway, so first purchase was an all weather car cover.
