why do people bag e30s? they are made for driving, not statues. /rant

Good morning ...

Looking for advice/input on how to remove a (rusty) e30 shell from my driveway - prefer free.

Is this worth anything on the recycle market?

call pick n pull and they will pay you $100 to haul that away. yeah you heard me right, pay YOU!

oh boy helicoil...

cam seal bolt completely snapped off in head.

i then proceeded to easy out it, easy out broke TWICE in the bolt.
tried to drill it out then the easy out (hardened steel) kept getting me off center because the drill bit wasn't having any of its bullshit.

so i filled it with jb weld, gonna punch a new center, then drill it out with a carbide 1/4 bit, then helicoil it to m6 - 1.0

because if your going to be way low it saves the car and the car can actually be driveable if you want; you just push a button and your good versus being way low on coils, you'll never really get to "drive drive" your car.

I'm almost thinking about going bags :oops:

Not completely true, they took my shell and paid me for it. Pick n Pull sent out a flat bed and a check made out to me. Tow truck driver pulled it up on his flat bed with the winch. They sell the scrap metal and I believe they get some credit from the state for getting another car of the road. Btw my car was completely gutted. Bernz can vouch for that.

Minus the horrible bumper and paint job, it seems like a well sorted e30...
