If that red E30 is a 325i I'd be interested if you ever want to get rid. Should have a job soon! ETA: Or is that a 5 series (E34)? It's an E28 535is with a 5 speed. It's been blasted in the side so a parts car. Was in really nice pre-accident condition. I'm probably going to swap the interior into ...

Cars are getting more generic looking and more complicated as they get newer but there are a few moderns that are destined to become classics. What this means in the future is that there will be fewer to be considered 'classics' but they're getting there. 90's era Supra, 3000GT and 300ZX are all cli...

My 2 post lift has come in really handy over the years, I bought it used from a buddy of mine and it had bad seals and a bad motor. By the time I got to rebuild the seals and the motor, I could have bought a new one but it would have been a cheaper Chinese lift and not a US made Rotary. It's quite h...

I've had a 2 post lift for a good few years now and it's been a real help especially when doing suspension work as I hate crawling around on the floor and underneath cars. However, when I tried to put my 1 ton pickup truck on it, it's simply too narrow and awkward as the arms have to be fully extend...

Let's define profit as: 1) where it sells for more than you paid for it? 2) where it sells for more than you paid + the parts? 3) where it sells for more than you paid + parts & labor?: 4) where it sells for more than you paid + parts, labor, tax, insurance and storage? 5) What about opportunity cos...
