Since this has been just sitting in my driveway getting no use for 2 years or so, I think it's time to let it go.

1984 318i coupe i.e. the lightest and also slowest of the e30s

The Good

Runs well, good compression. Hasn't been driven in a while though, so it may need some attention.

brakes have been swapped to 325 setup - front vented disc, rear solid disc

LSD swapped in - don't remember the ratio off the top of my head

Axles recently replaced

Condor speed shop bushings in the rear control arms, subframe and diff

Brake and fuel hard and soft lines have all been recently replaced

New KYB shocks/struts, Racing Dynamics lowering springs, all bushings and mounts are new

Custom built header, stock exhaust from the header back

Shifter recently rebuilt - like 0 miles recently

The bad:

RUST! of course

Passenger side floor patched, driver's side replaced with sheet metal - i'm not much of a fabricator so this isn't the prettiest work ever.

Driver's side shock tower patched as well, there was some very questionable work that was replaced with slightly less questionable work - I was planning on using this as a rallycross car, and for that I would probably box the towers

Bodywork is ugly - there's a good sized dent in a rear fender and some rocker rust

Needs a windshield lock strip(probably gasket too) but the glass is good.

Battery was moved to the trunk, but that work should probably be looked over as well.

Carpet is gone - you didn't want it anyway. Dash is cracked, I have a better, but not perfect one that will go with the car. Rear package tray is in really sad shape as well.

Has a depowered e36 steering rack, but I think the rack is bad. I have new tie rods (inner and outer) and the original rack that can go back in.

The Extras

Full Drivetrain - Longblock, trans, accessories, all of it. Bought to rebuild and never did. Bores look good, but I'm no expert.

e30 steelies with snow tires mounted - tires are about dead but you could get a rallyx or 2 out of them

A few spare bottlecaps

Several rear subframes, brakes, original open diff from the car, a front subframe for a m20 if you want to swap it, random odds and ends and bits and pieces. Also 2 sets of NOS m10 pistons in different bores and compression ratios. Basically, enough stuff to get pretty close to zeroing out the car for a challenge budget, if you're patient.

$1200

Pictures to come

Pictures here - sorry for the poor quality, my phone is awful. Interior and better exterior shots to come this weekend.

Also - I just replaced both fuel pumps. Forgot about that.

Also - If you feel like this price is totally insane, let me know. I won't be offended, I promise. I haven't listed it anywhere else because I feel like this crowd will actually use it, which I'd prefer.

I can't acquire any more vehicles, but that Miata in the background could use some parts, and I'm open to trades. Perhaps for a hardtop and some cash? Megasquirt? Full exhaust (1.6)?

One week, no bites.

Let's try $1000

Now on Craigslist - I'm really impatient, and now that I've decided to sell it, I need to get it out of my driveway before I change my mind.

Nothing to see here folks, just talking to myself.

Put the stock rack back in. It's mostly there, but thanks to this post

I'm over it.

There's a rust area that's a bit concerning where the front subframe mounts on the driver's side. I have a new good subframe. Swapping it and reinforcing that area would not be hard. I'm done crawling around under it in the driveway.

$800, come with a trailer. Clean title.
