So I've sold the R... and after a long project that took me 4 years to complete I considered "settling down" with a stock car and over the past couple of weeks have been going back and forth between e46 M3's, Audi S5's and porsche 996's. I've always been a fan of e30's but they're so hard to find in good shape. It wasn't till a friend sent a craigslist ad my way yesterday till I knew I had to jump on this car.
I messaged the owner last night as I was leaving for a business trip today. He had six people lined up to view the car on a wet rainy Saturday so I knew I had to jump on it quick. I rushed to the bank on my way to the airport and left money with a trusted friend to make an offer for me if everything checked out.
Now here she is, my minty fresh '91 318is. for 300,000km on the car it's in great condition. It vibrates a little on idle and the seat bolsters need replacing but that will be addressed in good time.. with a little help from my friends and hopefully from a few of you.
My plans for the car are to fix up the interior, wheels, and stance. Most likely there will be an engine swap in a year or two. (LS1, S54, 2JZ?)
