    I think the car has some great potential. Remove all the extra stickers and emblems, put some mirrors on it, do some interior work, and fix the trunk lid. Now you have a pretty cool car. If it hadn't been so far away....

    Actually, had the seller posted pics like the ones just posted here after a wash - I'd have definitely bought it myself and not even started this post.

    You have to understand, that particular car has been ridiculed mercilessly over the years, this is nothing!

    BUT... had he given it a wash and posted even the two pictures like you just did, you would have stayed in Sacramento because I'd have pulled the trigger.

    The rockers can be fixed, the interior... well, if your mom's into that sort of thing... uhh... lol
    Other than that, I think it looks kinda cool

    I thought the E31 doors were too heavy for those hinges and that once done its nearly irreversible.

    Nothing is irreversible, but why bother, IMHO the whole appeal of this one is the things that make it not stock.

    Good deal. With the black roof, the black mirrors will be perfect.

    but then we have this issue... Lambo doors?



    I have been told that an 8 is equally as exotic as a Lambo, so I don't see the issue.

    Leaving the towing eye on the passenger's seat is not a good selling point.
