So i bought my e30 about two months ago, semi running with no lights in it, no grill, no working brakes, a pretty shot clutch, speedometer? Who needs one of those. 3 year old gas, god awful wheels with dry rotted tires, one fender made out of bondo the other rusted away the best part! A fart can. Really make the teenage dream come true of yea and also probably about an 1/8" off paint sprayed right over the factory clear with no prep that was chipping off and deeply gouged at over the entire car. So now that ive listed most of the negatives MOST here are some positives
$700 running
E30 (dream car since 13 purchased a month before turning 17)
Pretty much brand new leather seats and door cards
Aftermarket head unit thats way too big, hangs out about 1/3 of the way and has no aux, blue tooth or really any other functions
Depo smiley hid headlights
Smoked taillights
M3 badge😂
Pedal covers and footrest
Cold air intake
Megan racing coilovers
So since the purchase about two months ago i have (i think) finally managed to clean out the fuel system, all new brakes but the master cylinder is sucking in air somewhere so its sketchy to drive, prepped and semi painted pretty much the whole car except the hood, new head unit, new wheels and tires (not sure what type of wheels but theyre hankook tires only 205s but got all 4 wheels and tires including delivery for $280) , two new fenders one of which doesn't fit properly.
Plans for said e30
Fender flares
1" wheel spacers
Different wheels
Get rid of the fart can
Figure out how to make the car fast (85' 318 mech fuel injected m10)
Fix speedo
Shim fuel pump
Bigger injectors (or heavier weight)
Stage 2 clutch (enough so i can beat on it yet not have i rediculous clutch in an extremely under powered car
Drop the front coilovers
Figure out why the rear passenger side window doesnt work
New spark plugs and distributor (wires and distributor cap are new havent checked the plugs)
Get a new a/c pannel
Caulk and hydro dip the dash
Put the new shifter bushing i just got in
Rebuild the whole shifter (maybe even a shorter throw)
Learn alot more about working on cars,how they work
Build motor and hopefully turbo it (concidering ive never turbocharged a car and dont know a whole lot about it itll be interesting)
