    Good thing its not in the PNW, I would have bought it already :)
    Good luck with the sales, one bit of advice: (not to sound like a dick) take nicer photos of the parts you are selling, spend the extra time to carry them outside away from all the clutter of the garage and take a clear, well lit photo :)

    carry on

        ^ STFU, I wish my parts collection was as well endowed as the OP's.

        ( currently zero parts and no E30, maybe next yearthough)

          I do, That wasn't an intended "See something here? ask!" Picture. I typically take pictures of the individual parts. Here's a link to the section on my photobucket where I take photos, and upload them directly to it from my phone. Those pics are horrible, and not intended to be anything more than representative.

          So, with that said, I fail to see how you were being a dick. What I need to do is photograph everything individual item (Or series of the same item), and consolidate it all into a SINGLE sale thingy

          Yes I am... Having the parts handy has saved me a couple times (2 master cylinders in 1 month, and a brake booster deciding to say "Fuck you!"? yeah...)

          Not a hoarder though. I have dedicated places that if they get overstuffed, oldest shit goes to the J-yard.

          I don't wish this upon anyone. It's a curse knowing that this is just money sitting in the basement, while aiding fellow forum members at the same time.

          Plus, It's less room for other more fun stuff. I wouldn't consider it a "Well Endowed" parts room, rather than a "Well, filled" parts room

                    Extra cash is the key word here. I don't think he's hurting. And do you have any idea how many "free" parts I have that are in great shape kicking around my garage? Most of which I have in trades of traded items. Don't turn this thread into a "You're soooo irresponsible because you don't have a free $300 floating around to blow!". Just makes you look like a cock.
                    Need a part? PM me.

                      1st e30 came with the E30, AND My S12 full of spare parts. drove home for 300 (Totaled 3 cars worth of parts, M10, M42, and another 325e, not including the one I bought) -300. Payed for itself

                      2nd E30, in garage. Sold wheels, couple other things. Paid for itself -300. Made out like bandit. See pictures. at http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v1...55/FakeHartge/


                      2 S13's. First one was 450. Swapped engine and trans into S12. Sold off rest. Paid itself off.

                      2nd S13. Given to me by a friend (Yes, friend), that I lent my 95 Maxima to. He crashed it into a parked van. Still have maxima, Runs and drives. Looks awful. So, In this one I lost big time. But that was ages ago.


                      I'm not hurtin for three bills. I pay all of my bills with the money we make (Me and the woman). without much more spending cash. Basically, I've used money made from the previous car parts sales to buy another car. This one (One in garage), was forced into bills. Or I would have it. I try as much as I can to not purchase new vehicles out of pocket cash, rather cash I made from selling stuff I have.

                      Also. I've aquired many nissan parts by trading parts. I at one time had 4 KA blocks in the garage. Now I just have one spare for the S12. But I do have: 2 spare KA heads, one spare wiring harness, one spare ECU, One spare C trans. Basically, I have another entire KA swap for the S12.... Been reluctant to sell those extras until I get the 2.7 Turbo stroker swap underway (Yes, BMW powered Datsun)

                      IF I were to scrap all of my stuff. Yes. I'd have the cash. I have a whole 325e shell in the garage, that I've been frantically picking away at. That right there is at least a hundy towards it.

                      All I need to do with that car is drop the rear subframe, Drop the front subframe with motor. Pick up shell, put on trailer much like this old one I did.



                      But there is a fucking honda accord that was abandoned in my driveway from the previous gal that lived upstairs, and the landlords, and the city, aren't doing a fucking thing at this moment.


                      EDIT: ALSO! If people wanted some 318is parts, this one is nearby me too. No title, no interior, etc. http://wausau.craigslist.org/pts/2402391649.html

                        F man. Wausau???? that's my home town... What part do you live in? I didn't even think E30's existed up there....

                        If its a truly rust free chassis, I want it. :P I can have my dad bring it over next time he comes my way to work on our Chump car. and not having to fix 2 huge andre the giant sized fist holes in the floor would be awesome...

                        But in an attempt to not be a dick....

                        I would like to have a spare good-to-go-no-issues trans. As in no grinding, linkage in non-sloppy condition, etc. what do you have????


                        As for the Honda... sounds like extra parts for funds to me :D

                              I live in the east side on Jackson St. Right by the courthouse, behind the mobil, just across the tracks. Grew up in Ringle, So I haven't gone very far.

                              Good to go no issues trans? I have two G260's then. One's (Possibly) super high mileage, One's low mileage. Both from ETA cars (BOTH large guibo). One came from a car with 225k on the cluster (Nothing wrong with it. I drove it 200 miles home. No grind, no issues, smooth as silk. I think it was replaced), the other one is from the car in the garage with a confirmed and known 104k miles. Both have sloppy old non-replaced bushings floppy shifter slop though.

                              I also have an M42 getrag 240 with 76k miles on it. With zero need (I only own 6 cylinder cars)
