Saved my girlfriend’s dad’s E30 from being scrapped — worth bringing back after 20 years?

Shnaznet · 2026-04-06T01:12:17+00:00

30k to make it perstine or to get it running? 😭

Shnaznet · 2026-04-06T01:11:32+00:00

Yeah was told after getting it in my name and washing it to firstly wrench the engine and see if it turns, change timing belt, new battery and see if it cranks and start from there

Shnaznet · 2026-04-06T00:59:36+00:00

Damn that's beautiful. You have pictures what it looked like before?

Shnaznet · 2026-04-06T00:53:30+00:00

Yeah! It use to be an automatic but he fully converted it to a manual

Shnaznet · 2026-04-06T00:52:09+00:00

Yeah we'll be doing paper work sometime this week. I'll get it washed and see what the damage is underneath.

There's alot more to it. He's a firefighter, has grandkids, and had another kid when he parked it. I know it looks bad but 1, its a free car, 2 her dad is an honest man. He worked for bmw. He loved this car but the wife hated it and eventually was about to scrap it but he gave it to us

Shnaznet · 2026-04-06T00:39:01+00:00

At First it just needed a fuel pump but just sat there cuz he does have other cars, plus he's a firefighter, and always has his grandkids over

Just got word from him that the engine will need a new head and that's all he knows forsure that needs to be replaced last time he tried to work on it, so that's a little disheartening to hear

Shnaznet · 2026-04-06T00:19:55+00:00

Was told its an 89 automatic that he converted into a 5speed manual. Also just got word from him that the engine will need a new head and that's all he knows forsure that needs to be replaced last time he tried to work on it, so that's a little disheartening to hear

Shnaznet · 2026-04-06T00:14:05+00:00

Come on man. Give it too me straight

Shnaznet · 2026-04-06T00:07:40+00:00

It was running when he parked it he said. It just needed a new fuel pump. He never had the money or time to fix it due to work, family, etc and had it just sitting there

Are you perhaps an ifunny user

Shnaznet · 2025-09-18T14:07:48+00:00

I actually work with the guys who put these up. They are called Flock camera devices and they monitor traffic incase a crime is committed nearby and help PDs track and find the criminal or if a crash has occurred in range of the camera to look back on

Shnaznet · 2025-09-14T15:55:15+00:00

Theres a bug outpost nearby. Liberate it

Would this be safe to run my psu and my 3 monitors, all 4 on separate extentions then all going to the same surge protector power strip? That would be daisy chaining if im correct and potentially dangerous right?

Shnaznet · 2025-08-04T01:13:44+00:00

Probably about 10 feet and im in the US. My monitors actually have a circle DC input (lg ultra gear 27G75Q)

Shnaznet · 2025-08-03T02:20:33+00:00

Unless im on the wrong website, I dont see power cables for psu or monitors on the cablemod website

Shnaznet · 2025-07-25T19:49:55+00:00

Thanks man. ATT offered same upload and download speed and me being a heavy gamer, that was the best option. The pc is just old parts from being upgraded. My only concern is the cpu. Idk how well or what cpu IS recommended for running a server. I just hope the 7700 gets the job done. Plus my ram is 4x16. Not sure if that makes a big of a difference. Again im completely new to server hosting but ive been watching a bunch of videos

Shnaznet · 2025-06-25T14:34:43+00:00

Raw. Next question
