Finally admitted I blew the HG on the E34, gonna replace it with a stocker and stock bolts again (only costs <100$ for both) but without the correct BMW tools and a lot of time it's a tricky project so I finally decided to stop ------- myself over by having a project car for a daily and picked up the first beater I saw.
BMW is gonna sit in the driveway most of the winter, then I will swap duties during the summer and use both cars for my commute/weekend cruising.

Got it for 100$, re soldered all the in dash connections so now the radio and heat and a/c work, fixed the 100% dead gauge cluster which works mint, the tires are all unevenly worn and starting to bald and the right rear strut is snapped in two.

Good thing is the ****** weighs about 2200# as it sits, got 35mpg on the way to school with the atx, no obvious drivetrain issues.

Getting 2 winter tires mounted on some alloy wheels for 70$, got two used but good rear struts/springs/mounts for 70$, two new front struts with new ebay springs for 65$. This is all the money I PLAN on spending on it, you all know how that goes. Besides the color it feels like a great cheap beat that I dont mind wrecking over and over this winter.

Current plans are to keep it running as cheap as possible, I swear on my life not to boost it until after this summer (said same ---- about the E34, was buying turbo parts a week later).

 

you should flat bleck it man ---- purple. not only do people think you are a *** for idriving a neon but they also think your twice as gay for driving a purple/pink neon

 

paint a flower on the hood, and dress up as a hippie.

youll rock mad bitches.

 

that is gayer than all 3 of my volkswagens. put together. that being said, i'd rock the **** out of it until the wheels fall off... a reliable beater is the most important tool a gearhad can own.

 

Hey, hey....

The day I got it. 3 Hours of handyman work in trade.

Stevemode would be proud.

 

Oh, I am. I think I'd have to flat black his though. The dark purple on mine is good as long as long as nobody can see me... and you know you can't see me, trick trick tRIIIIIIIIICCCCKKK

 

75 shot and an old bumpy dirt road best 100 bucks you ever spent

 

 

flat blacking it would require spending as much money as filling a tank of gas
its not a Lamborghini ------ im waiting till the paint gets considerably more fucked up before I blow 20$ on spray cans

+ if the paint lasts and I put a 500$ turbo kit on it, push a good 250 horse + in a 2000# sedan, theres going to be a lot of upset heterosexuals looking at my taillights
