Salvaged e30

Post by JonMcCann13 »

I've had my shark for 2 years. 84 5 speed car. Put a turbo on it and daily the hell out of it for almost all 2 of those years.

So I bought an e30 86 5 speed car for 600 with a blown head gasket. I did the head but it needs all the typical sensors and stuff and I'm not really into it.

The e30 has the lsd and properly working gauges and an ac pump that isn't frozen solid.

What can I steal off the 86 e30. I want the ac pump. Maybe the gauges. Maybe the seats. The lsd for sure. And I would like to change the ac knobs in the shark to the ones in the e30. Is any of this possible. Anyone done it before. I know the shark is no e30 but it would be a lot simpler to use the switches rather than rheostats that came on the shark.

Anyway. All help is always appreciated

Some searching yielded that the 6cyl e30 can donate it's medium case lsd to my shark.

Any takers on ac compressor or the knobs on the dash.
