Hey fellas,
Here's a highly original E30 that's mechanically sound and ready for daily driver status right away! I've just gone through all the mechanicals and cleaned it up; hoping it goes to someone who is ready to give this puppy another lease on life.
It ticks the boxes of many cars going for $10k+ lately (2-door, manual, clean title, passed CA smog, etc). The engine runs strong, starts quickly, and has a stable idle. Transmission shifts smoothly, no grinding between gears, and the clutch feels good and grabs the way it should. I've listed much of the work I've done to it within the past month below, including timing belt and water pump. The car just passed CA smog (good until 8/4/19). All body panels are original, although the bronzit paint is showing its age and much of the clearcoat is deteriorated.
Some issues that will need to be addressed:
The car currently has a 4.10 LSD, and although I just changed the fluid, it will need some attention as it's a bit jerky in tight corners (if not replacing it with a proper 3.73). Also, the A/C system is all there, but will need some attention to get it working properly (maybe a proper 134a conversion while you're at it).
SOLD
Located in SoCal (Granada Hills)
