Hey guys I got a couple weeks ago my first 84 325e.
When I got her it was obvious i had to do a lot of work. Such as a general maintenance, then i had to do the timing belt. When i did that it was clearly to see that this car never seen a new belt nor spark plugs or any kind of oil.
Once I did all of those things I got to figure out why my wiper motor wasn't working. Turned out that that car used to have mice. After cleaning all the residue of those buggers away and then changing the motor, the wipers worked again.
Then to the interior. The interior carpet was shot. It was the most disgusting thing. Turned out that the heater core broke at one point and all of the water ran into the carpet by the drivers gas pedal. Resulting in mold and a really wierd stench. So I went on ebay and found a relatively good carpet for cheap. Got it and put it in and voila the inside already started to look nicer. Then i went to the german ebay site and found a nice mtech steering wheel for half the price then here in the U.S. Then my father came home one evening and handed me new floor mats which turned out to be nice m3 mats which i'm happy about since i don't have to buy any and of course their m3 mats. Also i removed the radio which was some shit $20 from autozone. And put a kenwood radio in their which i had from my jeep.
Their are little things that i did to the car that i didn't mention and there going to be things that i will do to the car such as removing the pin stripes and getting new rims. etc.
I'm curious what you guys think of her so far. Its work in progress. Also i've been thinking of doing little mod's to her but nothign to expensive since i'm in college and i'm broke.
