How much do you think its worth?

Im refurbishing a 1987 325i and dont know if Im going to sell it or not. The paint needs to be redone eventually but everything under the hood was/is touched. The car has 200+k on it but AFAIK doesnt burn oil. Ive not done the piston rings or valves but have done the following

Regasketted EVERYTHING (Head, oil pan, etc)
Carbon free pistons.
Getrag 240 tranny with poly bushings (shorter first and second gear)
3.73 LSD
Will have a new front window (old one is really bad)
AC delete (didnt work)
ALL new belts
New plugs, dist cap/rotor but wires are the same
Fresh(ish) master/slave cyl
Will have new motor mounts
New thermostat but same old water pump
Mostly new hoses
Does painted driveline count as a mod?

How much do you think the car is worth if I sold it when im done?

probably a # you wont like. What's the reason for selling?

I like projects. I picked up this car as a trade for another car plus some cash so I just shoved the cash back into it. I have a race E30 and a daily driver maxima. So I dont really have a use for this car beyond a fun now and then car. Itll probably get my old spec E30 suspension (HR race, bilstein shocks, HR sways) and ill drive the crap out of it.

Basically if someone wants it, ill sell it. Otherwise ill keep it until I find my next project car.

I was hoping for around... $1500-2000 for the work ive put into it.

The blue diff was me being bored while waiting for parts. I figure no one will see them.


Thats the best I have for interior so far. Its getting my good vinyl seat tho. The interior is fairly nice. Only one crack on the dash.

PS its 4 door.

And yet just about all you cared to show us in the pictures was the blue painted mods ..... SIGH ......


IMHO your expectations are way high for a 87 4 door w/ smurf blue painted mods underneath and the condition it is in.... but that is my .02 too !!

With the appearance, youll be lucky to get $1000. Dont spend the money unless you plan to own it.

*shrugs* guess Ill keep it then. There is a local paint shop. I might just repaint it the factory color. I want to paint the black molding around the bumper and the chrome bumpers tho. Would that make it look too non stock?

Im pretty set on keeping it now anyway tho.
