Stop that.

Should really buy a truck, but have been considering another e34 or maybe an e28.

That's a lovely example and the price is right on. 

[Jdesign]

Thats a cheap E34

     Good deal on a 2002 with some neat parts (Don't worry I already messaged him)

Well he responded but still hasn't set a time up for me to come see it. I wanted to go there today, but he works nights so he cant show it today? 

Says he only owned it a year. Anyone know anything about this car?

Good Luck.  Looks like it might be a pretty neat 2002.

THANKS! It does, but it's also in much rougher shape than the one I have now. It will for sure need paint.

Cant decide whats more crazy, the owner or the price...

[HipMF]

I saw the VW listed elsewhere. I think he was only asking like $5500 for the car without the jet engine.

Welp, this is one of those, "You dont know unless you see it" kind of cars. I struggled to get good pictures from the owner so I made the drive,  here is what I found.....

The Motor actually was the best part of the car. the block was repainted and it ran well (see video below) So I assume its been refreshed recently

the black everywhere is someone using POR-15 to "stop the rust?"

Seats were really rough. the passenger seat was missing the lower cushion. I think they are from a GTI? the BWA steering wheel was really neat though.

The drivers door was actually from a Malagna car and resprayed 

Floor patch

Rusted floor

cracking and hole in floor

trunk had a few poorly patched areas

the front fenders, valance, and hood were all fiberglass with euro lights

this side wasnt as bad as the other side, but look at the seam

Here you can see one of the trunk patches

Orange block and aftermarket headers

Front valance under the fiberglass one was completely gone and what was left was falling apart

home made center console

aftermarket suspension but I have no idea what it is.

Both front edges of the floor were worn through

This is a hole through the middle of one of the front frame rails

but here is a nice video of it idling

Yup! Not surprised it went so quickly

[HipMF]

Not bad for a wisconsin car...? Also, would not buy.

@GunMetalGrey You should be looking at e21s for that m21 powered e21 swap.
