    My Zinnoberrot 325i 89 from Costa Rica

    Hello world LOL,

    Again, I bought a BMW after a year since I sold my piece of cr*p Euro E36, to buy a Honda Si and returned to the light with an E30 325i Sedan. The car is in good shape, only a couple of wiring problems in the fusebox :rippedoff: and paint, but the car is good shape after all.

    (yes I need help with the fusebox)

    Pictures from the thing!:











    And installed a set of new bbs replica rims cuz the other ones are in square form

    Well continuing with the horror story. Got my garage fixed at my home and brought the e30 to start working on it.

    Started at the beggining of the year to look all the problems and :rippedoff:
    all the damn floor and the car is a bucket rust :rippedoff: x2

















    The carpet of the car was very stained and ripped off. Cutted in a half and made me a floor bed... Got a nice one from a local junkyard

      Continuing with the horror story....

      A totally messed and burned fusebox :rippedoff:x3



      Bought almost a entire new fusebox from ECS using the VIN and realoem... My car is using a fusebox from the earlier 325i model with red card ... and... I needed to buy one used from ebay :rippedoff: x4



      All the interior out





      Broken pillar covers (the old ex-owner of the car is a complete idiot)


      Removing and old sticker in the rear windshield





      Aaand got this from a Costa Rican guy living in California:

          Thanks @superj

          Today I was checking why the car is not mantaining the idle...

          Found a big crack at the intake boot... made a McGiver job meanwhile the parts come from ECS:



          Found more rust in the pillars


          Got this from SRS Concepts:

                  Car looked so clean on the outside. But once the rust is fixed you be good to go =)

                    The painted moldings would've raised some flags for me. Looks like you've put in some work. Good luck with the rebuild.

                        The actual state of the body was almost a total lost... rust everywhere











                        This will take a lot of time aaaand MONEY :SOS::SOS::SOS::SOS:, also... the chasis has a lot of damage in the front part.... that is why I decided to find another chassis... found one of the same year





                        Again... dismantle a complete car... kill me

                        Going back to the engine... the engine looks pretty good in the inside
