THis was about 30 mins before we took it to a scrap yard.

The car just refused to spin the back wheels at this point and its in the wet.

Why did it go to the scrap yard?

 

Needed alot of welding done to the underside lots of holes in it and was more than what the car was worth to me.

 

Wow sounds like u have to much money that car looked in pretty good shape to me why didn't u try and sell it ?

 

It looks ok for a distance but rear arches both needed replaced ball joints all four jacking points and holes so they needed welded plus front bumper needed resprayed and that was just the tip of the ice berg. Plus the carpet from the floor was in the boot totally wet as it was leeking that much water in through the holes.
Dont get me wtong i was sad to see it go as it was a great car 178,000 miles on the clock and it still started every morning with no problems.

 

Poor old E30, but not worth the cash to repair if it's rotten is it, it'll go to keeping others alive now.

I'm a mod for http://www.e30zone.co.uk if anybody actually loves them? Sites being upgraded atm but forum is still there.

 

How much did the junkyard give for your car, if you don't mind me asking.

 

£60 dont know what that would be in dollars.

Had a full m3 style kit and sideskirts in the car and a set of spax adjustables suspension kit.

Just had to get rid of it mot and tax was up and the fines were about to come in the door
