cool car. what are your plans?

It was stripped inside to make into a race car. It has brand new Ground Control coilovers, new wheels, brakes, and freshened motor. It needs a complete interior and other odds and ends. I am going to make it streetable and see where it goes from there.

Its SUPER clean. Being that the interior and trunk trim is all gone you can see EVERYTHING! There is only one small spot of rust on the pass floor less than an inch diameter.

I liked Adam's e30's that he's had over the years. Fun little cars to zip around in. I love the sound of those motors too.

Very nice.

I often think about an E30S50/S52 race car build.

That is a cool combo. There are a bunch out there for sale like that...

Gotta a parts car I am getting from Iowa this weekend. Who knows, maybe down the road that one may get an LS1 or something... :eek:

Yeah the wife had one identical only a 4 door and just as clean. Are these things quick at all? I remember a buddy of mine beating on one his parents had and it looked to be torquey as fuck and would rip second gear really good.

sweeeeet car!!! e30's are a sickness. Once you've got the bug you can never get them out of your mind. They handle fantastic and make all the right noises. I'm getting all misty eyed...:goof

They are not super fast, but they are a blast to throw around and like was said above, sound awesome and are just overall fun as hell to drive!

:thumbsup Awesome Find!

I've always been a fan of those, and have always wanted either one of those or a 944...

One of these days I'll have one or the other, but for now I have my project.
