YOUR NEXT CAR

[speedminded]

Selling it to build my 4 door 1988 325i that is sitting at my work. Its going to be a daily driven street brawler/ hopefully $2008 GRM challenge contender. Though i don't plan on winning anything there, i'm gonna build a dope/functional E30 that looks as good as it drives for under $2008 dollars, and me and my co-worker are entering the challenge just for the experience/fun time. There will be a build thread as in the next few weeks it will be running and things will be rolling on the project.

I can't wait.

What's the rules for that? You know I got my '96 328i for less than that then sold some parts off it and traded some more for a complete e30. As it stands I'm still well under the $2,008. Basically have a clean e30 and M52 swap for a grand...

The problem is the just the clutch and suspension alone will be $3,500-4k...then the turbo setup...then the e30 M3 body work...and the...then...haha.

If I just spent the remaining grand on good shocks and springs and tires then it should be elgible and still be a relatively quick car for $2k, 2,400-2,500lbs or so with 200hp.

*edit*
Got the rules from Grassroots...

16. Parts that are not used may be traded or sold up to the initial cost of the car or parts deal. In other words, if you buy a $500 Challenge car, you can recoup up to $500 of your budget by selling parts. (If you do turn a profit on selling parts off the car, we suggest you take your significant other out to dinner to compensate them for having a $2008 car hanging around the house.). Once the recuperation limit has been reached on a car or parts deals, trading is not allowed.

17. The maximum amount of money that can be recouped in a budget is $1004. This includes parts cars, parts deals and the Challenge car itself.

So $1,004 can be recouped...I sold $600 in parts then the e30 was orginally purchased for $300 so that means i'm at $900...I can still sell/trade $104 worth of parts!
