A shitty one off ebay that did not hold. 6 puck sinter is holding strong still.

Trans/clutch is shot again. Was already planning on killing this project this winter, now its been accelerated.

What are you going to do with everything?

Ouch bro... Lemme know if you ever need a second set of hands around the shop. Or some refreshing scotch?

So sorry to hear man.

Why not just turn down the pump and daily drive it instead of getting rid of it?

It's got a list of issues, interior being the hardest to getting around. Sunroof has been inop for 3 years, door cards are almost all falling off by now. The idea of a 400hp 535i that I dont have to turn wrenches on every weekend is appealing.

Early door cards are all over pull-a part and this is the perfect opportunity for sunroof delete. I'd love to get a non-sunroof headliner, the cloth one with bows so I could stitch up my sunroof and save a few pounds in the best place to do it.

All that said, a '95 does sound like what you want. With a 606 turbo and a 722.6 trans. I think there's a great donor car in the classifieds for that....

Kids are getting older and I need to spend more time with them now so I spend less time dealing with problems later.

Always do what I did and buy a 94-95 with a good interior and fully swap it long with the front clip, headlights etc... Still if it does come down to parting it... and I can scrape the funds together, I still want the bits for mine.
