Well I say mini resto, I guess it is more mechanically inclined...for now .
So..I guess I'll start one of these build threads for my recently acquired 1989 BMW 325i vert. I came across it while doing my usual morning "doo-dooty". It was listed in the North Texas Bimmers Group on FaceBook. The guy bought it with the intention of turning it into a drift/track car, but did not have the funds. I gave him a PM, we met up, check it out..
(He wasn't lying about the engine and tranny..)
Yadah yadah yadah...about an hour later, we signed the title and gave him $650, he gave me keys.
The M20 under the hood is really strong, like it's suppose to be. Other than that, the car is sh*t. Firstly, the interior is gutted, 2 seats and carpet; no windows, nada! Even has an aftermarket top to go with it, yippee.
Oh, if you don't know I had this..and now it is stock waiting to get sold. Will probably jump into a Lexus GS350 or something later down the road. I had some plans for the E90, but it was starting to get old to me, and I merely got bored of it. Oh, the HRE's are FOR SALE!
(Old E90)
So, back to the E30...
(Some first pics)
After searching Craigslist I came across a guy parting out his e30 for a Lemons car, so I arrived and paid $150 for all 4 window with bracket/motor and a free rearview mirror.
(One rear getting cleaned up)
(All clean!)
When I was installing it, and noticed that the harness from the car to the plug on the motor for windows was ghetto-rigged. It didn't haven't a connector on the whole passenger side...so knowing something was fishy. I proceeded to get the windows in, and let that big headache for later. I have windows now woo!
Anyone know what these 2 plugs are for? I'm assuming the tweeter??
Well, thats all I got for now. The same guy that sold me the windows also had a MINT canvas top, blue in color though. You guys think I should pull the trigger on that? Its OEM!
It will get painted as soon as I figure out what the dealio is with the wiring, and later on after progress is made
Follow me on IG (benneee) for SLOW updates, or if you want to be a creeper, and creep on my life. :shifty
