    Big guy in little e30's....

    well been on here awhile and realized i never made one of these..

    to start off i fell in love with bmw's ever since my first e30 years ago ..it was an 86 burgandy 4 door eta 5 speed...i effing loved that car drove the hell ot of it and loved every min of it...sadly i sold it cheap to a friend and it took awhile before i bought another...that said fast forward to a year ago..

    i had just moved to florida to start life over...told myself when i can buy another car it WILL be a bmw...and it was.





    not bad for an auto tragic non-lsd


    well i had plans for it..all of which got crushed between having to live in the car for a few weeks then having 2 jobs and always working..sadly she started getting worn out and a oil cooler line split coating my right front tire in oil and was followed by me sliding off the road during a bad rainstorm



    so while i fixed the line i pulled the front clip off and also yanked the a/c system out



    replaced the front clip with hood and fenders from a black car and painted my grill/light surrounds and the crome brackets that hold the lights into the buckets



    and here is how she sits currently



    sadly between the salvage title, the rust that started from shoddy repair work (which caused the salvage title) and my windshield being cracked an a wheel bearing making some loud noises..she wont be getting another dime of my money into her..so i picked this up



    89 red on black coupe its auto also but will be getting a 5 speed swap n the future..also had a timing belt snap so i got it cheap..plans are to swap the head from the bronzit (was rebuilt right before i got the car) into the coupe ..

    then as i drive it fix anything that needs fixing..add in a set of billie sports and hr springs and a staggard set of type a's and have a really nice driver

    will post more pics of it once its home..

    the bronzit will either be sold to a friend as a roller for a drift beater or parted and scrapped..

      its pretty nice i know the last 2 owners (both owned it with in the last year) told both of them to do the timing belt or its gonna snap ..and they said nah it ll be fine...then i got a call from the second owner asking if i had a good head..

      it was like 2 months ago i offered to buy it he said make an offer so i said 700 and he took it..

      now i prolly over paid a bit considering its an auto and snapped the timing belt but the body and interior is clean as hell so to me its worth it ..especially since down here non enthusiasts tend to think their e30s are worth a ton of money

                    Sunroof cover off the top of my head, mine just isn't there. I'm not even sure how to remove/install it.

                      well a quick update now..then a better one later as i get pics organized for my red coupe..

                      the bronzit one is still running like a champ..it just wont die...i am slowly coming around to maybe dropping a couple of bucks in some parts for it and just keep driving it..

                      now considering its my beater...and its not a nice pretty e30..i thought id have some fun with it...

                      at the local weds car meet me and some friends threw on some cheap-o "rally" lights to the front..along with some digital camo duct tape on the sides of the hood....the camo serves no purpose what so ever but its what ever like i said its my beater i have hauled a m20 in it along with an auto tranny at one point...






                      like i said its a beater has rust etc so i am just having fun with it ..i am considering finding some stock struts and springs so it sits higher and throwing some sweet naked lady mud flaps on it ... joking of course :shifty
