Deep Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 That M3 looks pretty straight, even the interior doesn't look *too* bad. As far as sacrilege, its your car, do what you will. My only question is, why a KA? Is it because you have one kicking around or somthing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Hitting the junkyards, reading through the classifieds on a Sunday morning and browsing through eBay will net you a decent interior for that M3. Get the engine running "good". Do the bodywork and prep it for paint, then take it to Maaco for thier craptacular Ambassador paint job. You will make more than you stuck into it and then some. You started with $400, work smart! !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 why KA? cheap to buy 1st of all. parts are cheap pretty much. can make great power!!!! even better torque!!! plus its different, i like the fact that if somebody else was gonna do something like this they prob would do the SR20DET.. so KA is more me i guess. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 lol im going to school to become a painter and body guy.. so ill do that if need be. well me and ed lol. i dunno i like this car alot.. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadman Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 NO! Sell the car to me. I'll quadruple (if not more) your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z-DET Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Just looking from the pictures, I'd say begin by claying the paint followed by a waxing which should restore a great deal of luster for the paint. Man, if I were you, I would not convert that M3 at all. You have a highly desirable car that most collectors would pay you a nice sum. Putting a KA or SR would be cool, but you would make out like a bandit profit wise if you were to at least get it running. Everyone is essentially telling you the same thing.....get the M3 running, clean it up a bit, and invest the profit into one of your existing projects.

Zhadman Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Obiously it's YOUR car, YOUR money, and YOUR time. It would be hypocritical of me, with my RB S30, to decry your decision to modify the E30 M3. I'm just a huge fan of that car (I have a pig poster of the Warsteiner M3 hanging on my wall). To me it's the TRUE M3. Whatever you do... have fun. You can sell it to me if you ever decide to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
