Thanks everyone, it's has 156,000 mile, it has low compression on the first cylinder so i plann on putting a new motor in when the winter comes. And yes it's 5spd

Chris the kidney grill in the back seat of the car need to put it back in. The car was in a slight accident, where it damaged the fender, bumper and side skirt. It bent the control arm also but he replaced it with an oem one. Then had then car realigned and corner balanced. It was built to be a track car but to the best of my knowledge has only been tracked a few times if that.


I know I bought a project car, but I the price was right so I took it

Not really major repairs, better that the interior is in great shape for a car this old imo. Body work can be worked out, and besides the front and corner, the rest looks pretty good. Hopefully the motor itself is all that needs replaced, but I somehow doubt it.

The trailing arms are another major thing to watch out for with the e36.
