    Good Project Find - 86' 325e



    Pretty stoked to find this e30. Didn't run so got it pretty cheap. Been sitting awhile at an auto shop. Owner never came back so the shop sat on it for a few years before unloading it! They replaced the fuel tank and said it ran but that was 2 years earlier. Got it home did some cleaning and got her fired up. Turned out someone had the wrong (FORD) main relays etc. Installed a new clutch master/slave and been throwing little parts on it as I clean up the outside and inside. It has black leather and seems pretty loaded. All of the powered windows wouldn't budge and the moon roof stuck. I pulled them all apart cleaned the motors / greased etc. All works now... Powertrain seems pretty solid overall. Throwing parts at it and will do a full service including timing belt, all fluids, pretty much what I need to get her on the road. Picked up some great extra stuff cheap especially the RC090's I found and polished them up (that sucked) Deciding now on suspension. I need to lean on my industry contacts and former product sponsors for some good hookups! Super stoked on this ride. Been wanting one for well, since high school I guess!

    This is a solid forum and hoping to pick some brains from you experienced e30 junkies. Cheers

    Hey this looks like a good start! Id skip the 17" 5lug BBS Wheels but that's me. Whats the plan for those? Full 5-lug or just adapters and be done with it?
