Do you have space to keep a 2-400$ e30 while you pull parts off of it? Thats probably the best route, id say. Might even break even or better selling some parts off it.

i could find space definitly, ive been looking for part cars. cuz i wanna do my own swap.
i think i might also have to get a clutch kit, which if that happens i should just look for a parts car. how much are draftshafts?
