I am at the end of my tether with my e30 and i am think of getting rid ,it would have to be sold as a project
My car is 1990 4 door e30 which has ben manual swapped and an m52b28tu swap, its lowered 30mm on 17 wheels, it has e90 front seats re dyed red with tempory rear seats that match, its had fiberglass mtech2 bumpers, and plastic side pods that have been painted mint green(the whole car was going to be painted this colour which i have the paint ) it has a one off ducktail spoiler. Its had a custom subframe so it runs standard oil sump, it has a custom wiring harness with obd2, bm Conversions manifod and exhaust, purple steering rack, and extended power steering hoses, it has 2 new wings ready to go on

Now the issue
My car run but last week started running rough, i have changed fuel pump, filter and regulator, when the engine was fitted it had new water pump, belts ,plugs, new front disc and calipers.
I cant get to the bottom of my problem so will have to sell as a project i have no doubt it will pass an mot when running,it would be better with a lower ratio diff as first gear is savage mine is 4.47 i think and been told it could do with 3.25 or 2.93

i am unsure what price i should be thinking about so any help would be great

It's hard to put a price on custom builds as you have nothing to compare it to in a way.

I'm guessing fixing the issues is out of the question?

What's made you give up on it?

I'd say put it up for what you realistically would want for it and gauge the interest from there.

You'll soon find out what people are willing to pay for it :thumb:
