UPDATE: Project 325E making some progress... PICS ADDED!

[Super Eta]

He he he.

I got me a beater for $300 and i invested about 1k or so into the intieror, then about almost another 1k into the motor and other small things and mine is black also. :D

I could tally up the prices from all the recipts but that would just well take too long so im not.

How much did you pay for the Eta Ryan?

[M3 Ryan]

after I sell off this last set of wheels that came with the car, I will be at $400 for the purchase price of this 325E.
It has 150k miles, solid motor, good black interior with sport seats, OBC, ect.
The body needs some attention, which I will give it over x-mas break and spray some new paint on her. All in all, I am happy with the car. I will probably sell it in a few months when I am done fixing it up and have had my fun with it.
I bought a ton of parts for it, including a whole new clutch that will go in next week.
I will get some pics up in a few hours.

theres the car, but it now has 14" basketweaves on it, and these wheels are on e-bay.
heres what I was upo against today:




heres the headliner fixed as good as I could do without re-gluing it.

with the rear window installed again.

The tint is 35% and looks good. I did the side windows too. I will post some pics tomorrow of how the whole car looks, and it will be lowered too, so it won't be so 4x4 ish.[/list]

[M3 Ryan]

ok... M3 springs and new rear sway-bar links are isntalled...
much nicer to not have a 4x4 anymore... the car isn't exactly a low-rider, but it's good enough just so it doesn't look weird...
the springs in front were a bitch. Last E30 I did was my gf's '87 iS and they wern't as bad, but they are definatly shorter than the 325E springs were...
I will get pics tomorrow, it got dark before I could get some shots of it.

Glad you lowered it some... it was damn high. Did you remove the spring pads for an extra little drop?

[M3 Ryan]

the pads that were in the rear were already paper thin, so I left them. The fronts are removed though...
