Finally started on my new e30 project. Yes the old project is still underway, but unlike my other e30 this one will become my daily driver. The car is an 86 325e which has seen better days. My best friend bought the car as a project but doesen't have time for it, so I'm taking it over. As it sits right now, she will a transmission, driveshaft, complete interrior, suspension, tires, and hood plus some mis. rubber parts. The engine has high miles but runs fine. The body is is decent shape, oxidized paint, and some rust on the floor, probally due to sun roof leeking.
The goals of this project are to have a reliable daily driver thats cheep. I have sitting around, a complete interrior, tranny, hood. Things that are questionable, suspension and drive shaft. I will probally rob the shocks from my 325is as I will be upgading to koni adjustables to go along with the 5 lug swap. I have a driveshaft, but at best it needs a new CSB and balancing, I'll take a closer look at it before putting it in. I may just rob the drive shaft out of my 325is and replace that one with a rebuild shaft.
Anyway on with the pictures. Sorry some of these are terrable since it was dark out once I finished ripping out the interrior. I will keep this thread updated as work progresses.
Yes this hood is hi-temp aluminum paint with some other paint smeard on it
Here you can see the back seat..very nasty. the interrior was tan and was spray painted black while in the car. There was a mice nest under the back seat as well.
When the car is done it will be painted grey metalic, cardnal red interrior, and be riding on bbs basketweavs. The Lips will be silver, and the centers painted grey metalic to match the car. I'd like to lower it, but as a dd, that fairly pointless. Also under consideration is a late style valance since I have one sitting around.
