    Styleprojekt's 89 Lachssilber Coupe Build Thread

    Whats up guys my name is Nico and I just picked up my first e30 tonight. Its a 89 325i, some small problems but overall very clean. I picked it up for $1300....but its automatic so a manual swap will be on the first things to do once its solid.








    Here are some problems I need to fix right off the bat:
    - Oil pan gasket (dripping)
    - Throttle Intake boot (idk what business is going on with the current one)


    - Oil Cap
    - Vibration at 40mph while driving (not sure if its tires, bearing or axle related?)
    - Bleed brakes and take whatever other measures necessary to get it to brake correctly (feels very soft and no response)


    Plans as of now:
    - Make it a solid driver again
    - Lower it
    - Tint it
    - Clean paint up, most likely plan a full respray in the future (either white or red)
    - M-Tech steering wheel
    - Black seats.

    Just for added input, here is the only rust I could find so far:


    And the hood is quite rockchipped so it will need paint soon:

                      Yes Carlsson Evo 1/6.

                      The car idles rough, what would be the first thing to check for that issue
