What did you do to your E3 today?

[Paulaner]

I sold both of my E3's.

Congratulations! I hope they went to a good owners. Keen ro see if they'll pop up on here once they dig in.

Are you moving into a different platform or something?

I had two main issues:

1. I purchased inexpensive vehicles that were non-op. Both vehicles required significant work and I underestimated my free time - so it became obvious that it would be years before either vehicle was in running condition.

2. I was fortunate to be able to store and work on my cars at a friend's industrial warehouse (his vehicles are stored inside). My vehicles were covered and stored outside in a fenced yard (including razorwire at the top of the fence), but they drew attention.. thieves cut through the fence to see what was being stored. As a result of the burglary, my friend asked me to vacate the premises.


If I return to the E3 platform, I will purchase a fully operational car as the starting point for a new project. I'm not concerned about the interior.

I’m assuming that since the thieves left the E3s they recognized the job for what it would be!

Ive seen quite a few pretty decent to very nice ones go for sale recently. I'm sure you will find the perfect one for you.

That is a bitter sweet image! The time and money factor in a car hobby can be immense.
Enjoy the freedom!

I have just the ticket but you will need a bigger rig than this one ….that moved your cars !

And maybe move to 1000 miles north!
