Welcome back

So how much did you pay for the ix if you dont mind telling. The guy was originally asking a crackhead price.

I would be interested in some parts from that M when you part er out.

I was the guy with the crackhead price.... because a guy offered me $3500, paid me on paypal then asked for his money back. Im not an asshole so I gave him his money back posted it back up for $3500 since a few people told me its worth at least that in parts as well as the parts I had already collected to repair it... Then a few more folks told me its repairable so I think ill keep it.

I bought the car in Seattle and had it shipped here. Most IX's that aren't rotted out are in Denver or Seattle.

Ill hold no offense to your comment, I just went with where the market brought me. You should take a look and see what clean IX's are pulling if you can find one. I've seen rusty ones with better than 200,000 on the clock asking 10-12k. Yes there are runner/drivers out there with rust and a bunch of miles for 2-5k.

Cheers!

This is awkward... it's not often that the crackhead actually hangs out with us. Welcome back!

Welcome back! You won't remember me by username but I am the guy who bought that tranny off you from your 86 way back when. What happened to the original plans to do an LS swap?

Welcome!
Do you do any mountain riding? Your commuter / Gravel X bike requires me to inquire.

Yeah I recall! You get that in? Im still looking for those poly bushings you had if you still had them. Negative on the LS, while it might have been way cheaper im still a huge OEM/Straight 6 fan and couldn't find the courage to alter the car in that fashion. I still have to get that car out of that POS garage and down to my hangar... that should be fun.

GunMetalGrey, I think you bought that 89is from me a bunch of years ago. We traded some parts and wheels or something also I don't totally recall. Yeah, its an older Specialized Tri-Cross set up for mountain/gravel right now. It works well on hard packed mud/gravel, just have to work a bit harder on the asphalt... its a trade-off. It might be for sale too. It's a 56CM frame, I'm looking for an all road bike now that I've moved back here from out west.

Hot damn man, it's been awhile!
I actually just sold that car at the end of summer, it was quite a bit different from when I bought it from you!

Nooo! You can't convert back to a roadie! Just have to travel a bit for the hills!

Right, yeah I haven't done too much with cars besides get that 86 to where its at and maintain my Audi. The 86 I bought in 2014 from a guy that brought it up with him when he moved from Texas and it was a grandma car with blown struts, faded paint and a shot interior but rust free and straight otherwise.

Not in yet, working on fixing and refreshing a few things on the car before the motor goes in. Still got the bushings, shoot me a message and we can discuss bidness.

In for S52 swap progress posts. Do you have a timeline for that? Would be an awesome addition to see at the E30 picnic in May

No idea. As always the delicate balance of time and money. I can try to bust ass to make it happen... it’s not unrealistic, just keep pushing me along! Hahaha
