What would R3v do in my situation?

His mechanic told him the car isn't worth putting money into. It's not the offer, it's the deception.

you have to remember that the mechanic isnt a used car salesman or a junkyard. if he pays one of his people (including his time) to fix it, he has to recoup that money. also, parting out the car would be too time consuming to make sense.

$100 is a fair offer coming from someone who doesnt really want the car to begin with. Besides, if OP is taking it to a mechanic, then the continued cost of maitnence probably isnt worth it. the only way i can affors my e30s is to do all the work myself.

OP, i would say that you should trade or swap it. it will be less expensive in the long run than buying a new car and you wont regret it in 2 months.

OP is now in my sedan, the coupe is sitting waiting for me to have time to rebuild it. The sedan will get him through the 6 months he needs in order to purchase his new car, at which time I honestly hope to purchase it back from him.

Going to pull the drivetrain, repair the 2 rust spots, and re-spray the bay and car. Keeping it Bronzit.

I'll post pictures tonight, along with a new build progress thread.

keep driving till explodes then part out or put new engine in

BAM! I did this. I had the death knock and drove the shit out of it for 240 miles until it blew up 3 miles from my house. Cylinder 6 smashed right through my block, I had AAA tow it back. Got a M20 for free from a local guy and threw it in.

The thing that sucks about that is a perfectly good head is wasted.
