So im currently awaiting a s50/s52 swap to be done from a semi-local shop around here, but my main question is currently as my car sits it does not run so im looking to change some things before i send it in. Currently on my list i have Rotors x2 (old need to be changed), Brakes pads, rebuild caliper kits x2, Shocks rear and front, Shock mounts,control arms (left and right), lollipops and tie rods. Interior wise I've cleaned it pretty good took out the bench seat in the back and cleared out the few rust spot from liquids that had gone through the carpet. Is there anything else i can do?? Suspension wise?? Interior?? Trunk?? Not looking to do any cosmetic upgrades just nessecary minor mechanic work or preventive rust issues a noob can do. Any help or suggestions would be great thank you :D

Anyone? -
Yes There are lots of things you can do but if you outlined the cars use youd likely get better responses. Is it a daily driver and will it see autox or track?
And what is your budget? You could do big sways and reinforcements but a lot depends on your budget. If it was my car Id buy the best parts you can afford and do all new bushings everywhere. Go through the brakes and make sure all maintenance is up to par ie cooling etc.Comment

O sorry i probably shouldve stated that, its a 1987 325e standard, my main goal is a reliable daily driver and for it to see a couple of road trips down to California. My budget is about 400 a month other then what i have saved up for the swap, so its a month to month process.Comment
