Well, makes sense, since he and Andrew are friends. Congrats to you, though, that's rad. Put me down for the cluster when you part it out :)

[ahrensNW]

Funny enough the only reason I'm getting to call this car mine is because of Andrew (5toes).
Definitely helps to have mutual friends!

I paid a fair bit under asking, and hes including his entire stash of e30 parts. New sparco seats and harnesses, a Miller maf setup, and three or four other boxes of goodies.

Nahhhh, the 911 will stay between my brother and I for quite awhile longer. Its crap but its still a good investment ;)

[e30austin]

So, I bought the m3.

It does have an m3 cluster.

It also has a tonnn of rust in the floor boards.

The m20 fired up too, first time it was started in 3 years.

Did you end up paying more than asking? Will be an interesting project for sure. Time to sell your 911, lol

[RainRider]

Awesome Hank. To me it's more about the body style than a having a proper M3.

Adam I have a plug mount if no one in south Seattle has one.

I have a hazard sw in burien, I'd have to dig for a c101 mount though

[djjerme]

I have a giant ziploc bag of switches, I think there is a few Hazard switches in there I could stand to part with. I'll be around this week working on stripping the old racecar.

[adam.nonis]

Guize....I need a couple of small parts from a Seattle local early this coming week, or someone further south on Friday. Headed down to Portland for an event on Friday AM and just have a couple parts missing (lots of work still left to do though).

I need a hazard switch and the holder for the plug on the heater fan cover in the engine bay (is it the C101?).

Anyone can help??

[ahrensNW]

He said he had around 500 replies in the time that it was up.

[MortyCrock]

I'm gonna go look at that m3 :)

The post is down... did he remove it for you?

I used to buy tons and tons of stuff from Robert back in the day. He has gone haywire after Max from Mudarri (lot's of M & AMG cars on seattle craigslist) supposedly stole everything from him.

Got an interesting call from robert about a year or two ago telling me he was homeless and max had ruined his life and he was done with the car scene forever, he tried to reimburse me $ on a fucked up motor he sold me. Told him to keep it, he obviously needed it more than I did.

Shit was a crazy story between those guys who ran that little dealership/BMW parts lot on Aurora years ago. Anyone else ever deal with them? I have many tales.. Lmfao

Not exactly sure what that guy's deal was. He loved parting out really nice cars for insanely cheap prices. The constant stories that would come from his mouth (that were obviously complete and total bullshit) made me think he was on drugs...but who knows. Good riddance, because there are a lot of folks that I know got boned by him.

And, who really knows what happened between him and MM, but if that's the case, scammer got scammed...sounds like just desserts to me.

[ahrensNW]

Yeek that might even be too much of a basket case for me to touch.

I've heard my fair share of stories about Robert lol.

[Munich Man]

"Idanity" owns the car. "Robert1700" screwed him over on the deal. It's technically two E30 M3s - the car has been cut in half and rewelded. Maybe even three M3s is what it took to fix it.

M20B27 (IIRC) and E36 non-M 5 lug susp. Missing the interior, cluster, drivetrain and suspension, so it's hard to even call it an M3 at this point. Fair deal for what it is, though.
