Hey all, I’ve been a member for a while now, but I never made my full on thread that gave out some progress of the car I own.
Here’s the car, a 1989 325i zinnoberrot sedan, I’ve owned it for 2 years (my sister owned it first for 1 ½ years and fucked the rear bumper) and I’ve gone through a lot of stuff with this car, dead starter, dead battery, slushbox (automatic transmission dead), no ignition, bad paint, rust, etc. But this car is a never dying thing, it keeps coming back.
I called this car Shirley, in memory of Leslie Nielsen, he was one of my favorite comedians and made me the crazy guy I am.
Well some bad things of the car:
-it has a slushbox
- Bad paint and rust in many places.
-Bad sounds in the rear when the car goes from a complete stop to actually moving.
-bad starter .
-Full block needs a refresh.
- Interior sucks (I painted the carpet and its horrible + tan interior)
-Suspension needs an overhaul
My plans for the future:
-Full on engine rebuild + mods and possible 2.7i w/ turbo
-Full suspension upgrade
-3.73 diff
-Rust repair, dent repair and body paint
-Try and find a better Rear bumper
-Better wheels and tires
-5lug swap (optional)
-track prep interior + sub rollcage
And the list will go on, but as of now I am a college student and I'm looking for a job for funds to do what I actually want with this car.
I'll be updating tomorrow with more pictures of my car and stuff
