Curious what that might end up going for, price-wise. Might be a semi-affordable way into an M3.

On the other hand, I wonder what might be lurking under that fresh white paint. That steering rack looks corrody...

Yeah that steering rack/front subframe look pretty crusty... I wonder if there is any documentation of the body work. If I had to guess on price I would guess maybe somewhere around 15k if it doesn't come with an engine/trans and the bodywork was done reasonably well.

Alpine white E30 m3 project! 

Paint looks damn good. IDK what @straight6pwr is talking about. I would be curious to what underneath.  What I don't see is an S14 anywhere in that storage unit. I guess for $1 a lack of a drivetrain, and some assembly required, it is a fair price.

I posted this same car with Mpars and no stickers that is a lot closer just a few days ago!

Seems like he at least has a good sense of humor, BUT it still ANNOYS me when people cant put an asking price. 

And damn it, I just realized he said he would drop it off.

Translation from his post.  What he said, "brand new water pump and thermostat"  What it means "Heads cracked and I am trying to pass the problem along to another sucker."

I'm gonna keep using the e34 wheels for snows. I'd like a set of 17" contours, but those are a little crusty for summer wheels.

They kinda look like reps to me... they're missing the gel M sticker thing and the ring around the lug holes
