Franklyn, I forget how much I bought to be honest, it may be in this thread earlier, I'm thinking about 50 sq. ft and I have a ton left from just doing the floor.


In other news, yay, or nay? Should I buy it, part it, fix it, sell it, drive it, boost it?












































P.S. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to upload these pictures.

I would. Buy it. Part out everything you can. Acquire the moneys and buy yourself a nice helrot e30 with a bag engine.

s50 swap into the e30.

If I parted it I would keep the ZF as a spare, and keep the engine to build it.


But it looks clean enough to fix, hrmmm.

Well it looks like the body is going to be pretty much shot. Maybe swap into another e36 and make a pure track whore.

I have access to a body shop so we'll see what they say. I wouldn't swap my stuff over, I would probably sell mine if I kept it but idk. I love both colors.

Hellrot 325 with clean title and 200k.

Or

Avus M3 with salvage title and 150k. Hrrmmm

If the body is very clean i might keep it for a second E36 and build the motor with a bigger turbo and such.

However i hate the gray interior. And did anyone else notice it's a 95 but has digital climate control?

Yeah, I noticed the climate control, good for him, turning on climate control with knobs is dumb. I'll trade you my black interior, I'll even find a black driver's seat for it .

This is still a far fetched idea, waiting for more emails.

That looks like some serious body damage man. If you're up for all the work to fix it, and get it for like $2000 then i'd say its worth it .. I sayyy buy it and swap the s50 into the hellrot and turbo that

I "feel" like there are less vibrations, but my car is pretty loud and my sound system sucks.
