So about two years ago my younger brother got the itch for an E30, he found this M50NV swapped Cirrus blue sedan on Craigslist and took the plunge, two years later he's tired of it and just wants it gone, it won't pass evap or NOx for emissions so he just gave it to me. Free. Insanely generous to gift (or burden) it to me.
The car actually once belonged to a former member here, his old thread:
The day we picked it up, hanging with a few other E30 people, mine up front, his newly acquired car in the very back.

So now it's mine to fix up. I have a ton of parts for this thing already.

So what's it got and what's wrong with it:
Brand new Bilstein B8/H&R Race suspension combo with all new mounts.
Poly bushings front and rear.
Camber adjusters welded in already.
PMC body mount shifter and badwella twisted DSSR
M50NV/G260
2.93LSD (slowwww)
M42 radiator and electric fan wired to run constant
Jetta MKIII front lip
ANSA catback
some stereo (forgot)
Missing carpet, sound deadening and some floor drain plugs. (have tan carpet for it, needs cleaning)
Gray leather seats, arm rest rear, ruined sport fronts (have naturbeige vinyl sports for it)
Rear windows don't work, front and sunroof do
Was rear-ended, tail panel is toast but I have a new one.
Power steering delete (without a block off plate)
no A/C
dead blower motor (not the resistor)
and of course it doesn't pass evap pressure test or NOx and it needs to.
So that's where we are right now. Hopefully this will be more active than my goofy shark-faced current daily. Not entirely sure what direction this thing is going in yet.
Thanks for looking.
