    Yes. The picture I posted has a couple more sizes than my set, but my set is also like 10 years old. Has paid for itself time and time again.

    These guys work wonders for rounded bolts. If you dont have a set, you are welcome to borrow mine.

    The likely scenario is that he bought the car as a project, didnt transfer title because it wasnt going to be on the road while it was being "restored". He did whatever he had to do, and when he went to transfer the title is wasnt where he left it. 
    To buy a car without a title, and then put that kind of money into it (with the exception of a track car) would be a pretty big lapse in judgement. That being said, I've seen people do dumber things.

    Nothing irrational about wanting a 7er. Fantastic cars. I had an e32 way back when. That thing hauled ass and you never even knew it, so smooth. Sold it due to the transmission being on its way to it's death bed. They are dirt cheap, but expensive to fix and most people don't maintain them very well. Most of them at one time or another were owned by a rapper wanna be or something of the sorts.
    I'll own one again done the road.

    Well, figured I'll start one of these.
     
    Purchased a 98' 328ic for a few hundred bucks. Bad trans, top inoperable.....but the body is cleeeeeeeean. Been out of the game for a few years after selling my s52 swapped e34 (which I regret every day). 
    Thought about LS swapping it for a second, then decided I just want to make it a nice dependable cruiser for the summer. It probably wont get much use as it is, seeing that I have two young kids with a third on the way. So, I want someone dependable.
    Seller was nice enough to tow her right to my shop

    Got the top down manually. Tried diagnosing a bit, but in the end couldnt figure out what the problem is. For what I paid for the car, I am not going to put more money than necessary. It will be primarily a nice weather car, so I dont really care about the top working. If I absolutely need to put it up, its easily done manually.

    But, for those times she wants to wear a hat....I picked up a hardtop.

    I sold my boat, which means more money for car parts (dont tell my wife). I gave her a bit of a facelift with an ill-fitting ebay m3 bumper and some DEPOS.

    So, since the trans is shot...I have two options, replace with an automatic or manual swap. Obviously, I am going to take the easy route and replace it with another automatic.

    Right....
    Manual swap it is. I searched for a couple months trying to find a manual parts car. Finally found this turd

    I have a pile of parts that are waiting to go on. I was waiting to find my manual swap parts so I could do everything at once. Plus, my lift is currently occupied by my brothers POS audi. I did my e34 swap all on jackstands, and it wasnt pleasant. 
    Yet to come:
    Manual swap
    AA track pipe
    Cat back
    Konis w/ H&R sports
    Wheels
    Maintenance 
    Drive it?
