                My last house didn't have sidewalks when I bought it.

                Snap......I saw you have a crack free e30 dash for sale?

                      Been going over the car and driving her a bit today.

                      Shifter bushings shot!

                      Passenger door and mirror non functioning

                      OBC display trashed blank

                      Hood/trunk/sunroof panel have some halfway spray can touch up paint on parts of each.

                      Windshield/rear glass trim faded/rusty looking. Side window trim looks good.

                      Gonna do a total suspension refresh. Doesn't make any funny sounds, shakes, etc but looks like hell.

                      Gas gauge.....works if I tap the dash. The tapping also makes the speedo jump, the speedo does work.

                      Odometer non functioning

                      Drivers seat was replaced with a non matching one......interior code 0211 (grey/black houndstooth). This is gonna be a project to find based on a bit of searching.

                      Idle fluctuates ever so slightly at idle

                      8302581b5714e444e05711ee3bdee6c3.jpg787b9b8aec51d07d7eb863b22c392f74.jpg

                      Did a small bit of clay bat, swirl/scratch remover and a fast wax in a spot on the drivers door.

                      Original paint on the car should clean up nice.
