Well i recently picked up a HUGE project and am finding out that it may big to much of a hassle. SOOOOOO.....i want to start with a clean slate and pick up a new somewhat nice looking e30. I have motor, trans, etc already lined up but the car is another story. i picked it up for $200 bucks hoping that i could rewired the P.O.'s mess but it is soooo messed up that it would probably be better off rewiring the whole damn thing. I really don't want to spend more than $600 bucks. It doesn't even have to be in good condition interior wise or exterior wise cause i am going to strip it totally down anyway. hopefully someone can give me hand! thanks!

yeah i looked around they are all in crap condition. I want one that has the dash intacked and a somewhat decent exterior condition. everything else is no biggie. I am going to tear it all apart anyway.

actually right now i really want to buy an e30 that is currently running. I don't really care about the mileage, just as long as it runs and drives fine. I am only looking at 325's as well preferably i cars but i would consider e cars as well. plastic bumpers would be a bonus it's that big of a deal I am only willing to pay $600 - $700 for it cause i want to turn it into a race car of some kind. Rust is not and issue either, well depending on the severity of it. Also it not a problem either if the interior is trashed cause i am going to strip it out anyway. So throw me an offer! I know someone has to have one that they want to get rid of!

New member first post, bear with me.
I may have a 1986 325ES for you soon. Presently at the mechanics with a broken water pump. If the repair costs are excessive I may be getting rid of it. I'll keep you in mind if I do. I'm in Grafton. Body is in fair to good shape. No major rust. 183,000 on the engine.

Are you still potentially interested in buying my 1986 325ES for $500? Mechanic tellls me the H20 pump, all belts, some gaskets etc. all need replacing. I would need snow tires and also have to get in tune if I keep it. It's not worth to me but may suit your purposes well. Please advise. Thanks.

its a possiblity but from the sound of it, it doesn't run. if that's the case i wasn't looking for one that i could still drive around and stuff right when i got it, but send me some pics of it and i will keep it in mine if nothing else shows up.

Thanks!

you wouldnt happen to have that 325 would you? i have been having some big problems with my cars recently. Had two that ran 2 weeks ago but not anymore. I would plan on swapping the motor and trans from car to the other. If you do have it still could you snap some pics?
