Sort of a timeline of my life with shitty cars (E30 and Mk2)

0 and 0.
I have fallen from ladders and been attacked by a black cat though.

Guys help me find an e30!

You should start modding civics or something. Or get your car blessed by some shinto priest after climbing over 9000 steps to get to the top of some sort of sacred temple on top of a mountain in a far far away land; and train there for 2 years in seclusion from technology.

Gosh, talk about bad luck! Im glad you're ok tho

[Chad G]

you'd better post pics of the mk6 before someone runs into it or a tree falls on it or it catches on fire.

[scweet14]

Amazed you still have your head up. Some seriously shit luck but cars are alllooking pretty cool.

[MartinsElerts]

You should stay away from e30's.
But yeah I really liked the last e30. I think the car color and orange color of the wheels really looked good. My jaw dropped when I saw the last picture.
Hope You'll have better luck in the future.

Lot has happened since the crash and all. All my spare time has been on the Mk2 and trying to make it a fun somewhat reliable daily and out came this:



Added Girling 60's



$100 for hipster wheels?!



How she sits now:







The guy who hit me took 10 weeks and lots of phone calls between lawyers and insurance adjusters to finally admit fault. They gave me $3800 and charged $2XX to keep the car. Then like Rick Ross I bought two cars in one week.





Caddy shell and E30 Cabriolet with a one year old top. (sorry for the behind window screen shot, it was more than 100 degrees out)

The previous E30 owner said it's been sitting for two years. I got it started in 20 minutes. Bad fuel pump and torn intake boot. Of course all fluids were leaking. Removed the intake to replace the drain tube seals and broken studs:



Three gaskets were installed wrong and it made me question everything. I pulled the valve cover to take to work to get cleaned and found all the rocker arm retainers to be unattached and bouncing around in the head and all adjustment nuts to be loose and some missing. Probably stuck in the oil passages.



On a good note. Looks like the head was just rebuilt and timing belt done. I've already ordered new parts and now it's time to get ready for Wuste!

Oh, the Porsche wheels and adapters are for sale btw. ;D

[244Brick]
