Good deal. If it runs that's an outstanding deal. I wish I could take on another right now.

I still think it's a good deal. It's a pretty massive project, but they all are, really.

You could put one of your M10s into a 600lb lighter car if you did... the auto tranny tunnel is much bigger, it fits a 5 speed easily.

yeah, but then I'd have a front swaybar/control arm combo thing like a damn Saturn. :D

Are you still bringing M10's down at thanksgiving? Spoken for?

More like christmas. I am flying home for TG. There will be plenty to go around... :help

Like the e30's front suspension is any better? Aside from being able to get lighter aluminum control arms, there's hardly any advantage. I would bet that 2002s can get more camber without bending the struts, too. Plus 600lbs makes up for a LOT of technology.

They only weigh 1700 lbs? :eek: If so, yeah, that DOES make up for a lot of suspension. Hey, I'd love an '02, I'm just too lazy to restore one and too cheap to buy a nice one! Restore this one for me and I'll give you $1000 for it :D

1700 is a little low. You could probably finish one out at 1800 with a lot of fiberglass and lexan.

Mine's around a ton. I'm pretty happy with that. I just wish it ran better.
