I picked up this e30 off of a local craigslist ad for $1k. PO bought it from a police impound auction in SoCal.




Fun begins with cleaning the interior. It was bad, really bad. I've stripped the whole interior. In the process of steam cleaning the seats.
I started pulling the carpet. I don't know how you guys pull it out in one piece. Way easier to just cut it out.
As I pulled back the carpet under the steering wheel, you'll never guess what I found... Half of a used crack pipe! I texted the PO and he told me that he found one in the car, too, about five months prior.

Carpet out!

Slight surface rust under pedal

Pulled the parcel shelf

Missing premium speakers...

I swapped the busted tail lights for some new ones thanks to Xavier1oner for hooking me up.
