The question is "what good parts are on it?"

Well a decent amount actually. It blew the head gaskket so engine is iffy. Here is what I've done to it in the past year or so:
- new bilstein shocks front and rear
- inner and outer tie rods
- sway bar end links
- top hats
- decent ANSA catback
- new control arms both sides
- new lollipop bushings
- front wheel bearings
- New CV joints
- Good drive line with probably 190,000 miles
- decent interior

I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting I have recites for almost everything I did. I just think the body is to rusty to keep on the road and wouldn't be worth the extra money for me to replace the head gasket even though I would do it myself of course....

Also a good clutch and PP with less than 30,000 miles on it

Well I'll be on "Spring Break" next week. staying in Troy to look after the house and work on the FSAE car. Really wanted to take the E30 out of hibernation but it doesn't look like I wll be able to for a while.

Where is everyone's favorite ski slope? If I have to live through the winter, might as well get some sort of consolation out of it.

Not gunna lie gentlemen...the m2o's been apart for so long that I'm worried about getting all the little things back together properly. I think that's what's been holding me back...that and trying to get finishing touches on the valve cover and intake manifold (paint bled through the mask 3 times so i gotta start from
scratch).

Were you doing a complete rebuild?

[Swanny]

Top end only and a reseal. Bottom end is in great shape.

[Swanny]

Oh and fun news....pretty sure my head gasket is leaking coolant into the oil in my e39. FML

[F34R]

That e39 has been nothing but headaches...

[Swanny]

Besides the whole wrong sized rear tire and needing camber adjusted this is pretty much it. I'm just going to blame that deer for all this new stuff.

[Swanny]

Positive news is that this came in today

[F34R]

yummy!
