FS - Fairfax VA 1990 325is S52 swapped (pix warning)

[shiboujin]

Reluctantly putting this thing up for sale. It's a 1990 325is that is the most rust free E30 shell I've ever owned. I've put ~500 miles on the car since the swap. Holds temp great. The S52 is pushing around 240whp with the chip and port/polish job on the head. I can chirp tires in second gear by simply flooring it (no clutch futzing). Legally passed safety last week. The original build thread that I stopped updating is here: http://www.slidewaysonline.com/Forum...php?f=8&t=1191

For 7k you could at least take it to get a paint correction. That haze comes right off with a good D/A polisher.

I need to at least try. I agree. Sadly, it's going to snow tomorrow so I won't get a chance soon.

give this thing a good 2 day cleaning/buff and I bet you'll see that.

GLWS!

Also, maybe find a vacuum...

[shiboujin]

The buff/wax only seems to last about a week. I still need to.

Interested, More details about the stuck washer in the spark plug hole? Sounds a bit odd. Cash in hand. Prefer to buy something in a bit better cosmetic shape, but the build is impressive.

Is the Dash cracked?
What about A/C Components?
more interior details? any quirks, electrical items not functioning?

[shiboujin]

Car just sold. But in case he somehow backs out

Dash has one minor crack
No AC in the engine bay but was unbolted at the firewall (all stuff in car is still there).
The interior is kinda so so. Seats are ripped but carpets are decent. No electrical gremlins. Even the rear defroster works (I haven't owned an E30 where that worked lol)
