What I really wanna know is, how the hell the transaction went down, and how anyone at the house actually managed to produce the title. You've got some major cahones for even going up to a house like that to inquire about the car, strong work!
I got lucky big time.

So the full story is the owner of the car and house died 12 years ago. One of her daughters moved in, got involved with drugs, alcohol and bad people, she left the house but all the other people stayed. The other sister finally got them evicted from the house years later. They posted an ad on Craigslist of a bunch of free stuff (essentially all the garbage to try and clear it out to sell) and I discovered and asked about the car. They just wanted it gone at that point and she had the title to the car, a key and was paying non-op registration the whole time.

Was a pretty good oil leak, thinking it’s rear main which I will address when I do manual swap (still gathering parts). Battery also died overnight so there is some draw in the system. Gonna finish flushing coolant system, new t-stat, new valve cover gasket and adjust valves.
Still a bunch to do...I’m rebuilding an E30 I saved from a crack house. Follow along on my Instagram and give me some motivation and tips!

Well I haven’t updated this in awhile as I haven’t done much work to the car, since I moved. I couldn’t get the car registered yet because it had a massive oil leak. Figured I would address it when I eventually did my manual swap. So…’ I FINALLY got started on the manual swap. I have been doing a little bit at a time at night. I just finished resealing the pan and a new rear main seal.
All the automatic crap has been removed and now I’m about to get the manual transmission I have been storing for 3 years. Slow moving project that I wish I had more time for but it’s slowing getting there. Having the manual swap out of the way will be the biggest thing. Hopefully get it registered then address smaller projects I have plans for.I’m rebuilding an E30 I saved from a crack house. Follow along on my Instagram and give me some motivation and tips!
