You are very wise. My long term project is at a standstill. Not sure if I will ever finish it.

My truck is sitting also... :(

[e30austin]

As is mine. Not sure if I'll ever start on it. Been in my family since it was almost new and been sitting for 40+ years. Don't think I could ever let it go. Same goes for the '49 Olds coupe sitting next to it.

[DER E30]

Dang! you've got it as bad as me! I've got these two, the black is sitting in the shop at least, the Ford was my great grandfather's and its just rusting away over the last 20 years...

Hell is a project shell.

I should try and find some work-trades with a shop to do the swap. Will fly drone for M20B25.

How much have you guys spent on your e30's (only including parts on the car) I'm roughly 11.5k into mine. And that's not counting the m50 or the pile of parts I'm collecting for the swap, that's just as the car sat before the teardown.

I honestly only expected to be around 5k but shit just kept adding up and I've gotten a lot of great deals (like the $350 euro donor)

Too much

[cg138]

Too much

Way too fucking much.

I dont even want to add mine up, My hartges and dunlops were $2k alone, now add full brakes, bushings, ssk, morimoto HID kit, smileys, maplight, lukebox setup and speakers, stromung, long tubes, shit ton of maint stuff i did cause i could.

[Pdxseth]

It's all that maintenance shit that adds up, I'm like 600 into practically stock brakes

Well that is an entire years salary for most r3vers

[BraveUlysses]

$11k in and you're complaining?

Cute.

Well...for the condition it's in...


I'm pretty sure I'm under 10k after almost 6 years of ownership, including purchase price.

[HarukoE30]

$7k for 318is from a stealership. Everyone is jumping in the E30 train. Time to invest in one that is stock and put it away for a decade.
