My daily driver project (touring content!)

[Kwaaahhh]

Aw come on. If it makes ya feel any better, I only get to enjoy it for 7 months. I'm headed back to the US for good so no more cheap e30's for me.

How much would it be to ship it over here and your not going to take it with you?

[scabzzzz]

I dont see any problems here. What about tie rods/bushing/etc..?

We fixed the speedometer/odometer today. I also used my Peake Service Light Reset Tool to reset all of the inspection/oil lights.

I noticed one of my rear fog lights is out, as well as the front passenger side turn signal. Should be a quick fix and have the simple things fixed.

I hate you. I hate every inch of your "oh yeah I just went out and picked up a nice e30 touring for 400 bucks" existence. Just so you know. Ahem.

Nice find, I bet she'll make a great winter beater. :)

Agreed.

Sucks we didn't get those in the states.

I just picked up this 1988 318i touring for my winter/daily driver for $450.

It's currently got some issues: (this is all I've seen so far, I've only had the car for a few hours)
- Speedo /Odometer doesn't work. (FIXED)
- Inspection/Oil Light on (FIXED)
- Power mirrors don't work.
- Driver side seat has a rip.
- 2 different style hub caps.
- Tint pealing in the rear.
- Burnt out front turn signal
- Burnt out rear fog light


What "mods" I've got planned: (maybe)
- replace the seats
- basketweaves or borbet type a's
- IS lip? (if i can find one for mad cheap)
- I have a HID kit laying around, I might toss that in there.
- possibly a roof rack.
- ebay chip?!?

The goal is really just to have something comfortable to drive while the M3 hibernates. I don't want to spend too much cash on the project. Maybe 500 bucks. I'd appreciate any comments/ideas ya all have for me!
