With the rear window down and the top off you've basically got a 'vert with a thick roll bar.

yeah i know i'm nitpicking, but to me a convertible has to be some sort of folding retractable top, which this is not...

It's actually NEITHER... it's a targa top... there's no t-bar on the Del Sol.

Del Sol also has no aircare and it has the usual rust. Not worth the effort.

The trans top is cool and all, but in less time you can have the top taken off/put on by yourself

The trans top mechanisms also take up a lot of space in the trunk, plus it's fairly heavy and weighs the vehicle down slightly

I'm guessing the clutch died on this car
The wheels can be sold to cover relatively close to the price of what the guy is asking for

Do all the bushings, shocks and springs... and you have your self a nice handling car.

how much would that cost?

reason i was so negative is because i just asked my friend who used to own the same thing years ago and he said after his hit around 260k kms it was costing him so much in repairs it just wasn't worth it even though it was a clean car with no claims...

I bought used bilstein sports and H&R race springs for my E36.

there are also guys parting out E36 M3 suspension parts and most are pretty much bolt on affair. rest of the E36 parts are a dime a dozen on Craigslist and ebay... a good canvas to build.

As long as the motor hasnt been neglected, it'll run just fine. those 4 bangers arent powerful, but pretty solid motors.
