Yep, I'm new.
Out of 8 cars so far, this is the first rwd thing I've owned.
Basically your typical clapped out rusty run of the mill '86 325. No clue how many miles on it, as the odo was apparently stopped at 220k when the PO bought it, and he swapped clusters in an effort to make the speedo work (which it still does not). I traded a saab 900 turbo for it.
Someone did care about it, though, as it has an MSD coil, bavauto wires, a full stock I exhaust, and the suspension is in decent shape. And an LSD that works nice. I was pleased to find this when I cracked open the ECU.
I need to change the front strut bearings and fix the cluster now and plan on doing a tbelt, diff fluid and trans fluid change, a new guibo and support bearing, and rebuilding the shift linkage within the next couple weeks. Should make a pretty solid beater. Will probably also fix the ac and swap in cruise and a 13 button obc at some point.
