    Just another one of those stupid and unnecessary advice polls/threads.

    So guys. Here's the deal. I have a bunch of parts I'm about to order for my car. Pretty much everything suspension and brakes. 400 dollars and some change of it. Not out of necessity, but as a why not measure.

    The necessity is that I needed to replace my rear wheel bearing. So I grabbed my spare trailing arms, replaced their bearings, sandblasted them, and am about to paint them.

    With the refurbished arms, I also refurbed a subframe, New bushings. Also blasted some front strut tubes. The only thing it really NEEDS to have replaced with everything else is just a diff mount bushing.

    So one thing led to another, and I figured I might as well replace freaking everything.








    And then, today. About to order the parts.
    I catch wind another E30 with no rust. (My car runs great. Other than rust, that pesky bearing, and the diff bushing, it has no problems)
    for 800...........
    In the state.
    Needs a transmission, and a starter. All parts I have in the garage. Even if it's an auto, I have all the parts to complete a manual swap..... (Sad, isn't it)


    So there's the poll. Answer it. What would you do in the given circumstance. I don't NEED your help in the situation. Just would like a little push in a direction.... I don't know if another car will pop up like this.

    Also. Because I know this will affect some people decisions. My car is a 89 Bronzit 2door. This car in question is a 91 Red 4door (Looks to be brilliantrot)

            Two things about that.
            I live in Wisconsin. If i plan to keep the rust free car, rust free. I need a winter beater. The bronzit is already rusty.

            And

            I already have 3 cars worth of parts. A lot of it for sale. As of right now I don't need to add more. To an already full garage and closet. At this point, it isn't really about making any money back.

            I called yesterday, left a message. I'm gonna try calling back tonight.
