my project

[underconstruction]

This is my 1987 325i i have been slowly restoring. first a pic of when i got it, just barely drivable. The usual tie rods, struts, bushings, bearings, seals ect. Basically I rebuilt-replaced all suspension components, tuned it up a bit, adjusted the valves, fixed various leaks and other issues. I found some used Apex springs, new tokico shocks and inserts, new rack, bumper swap, headgasket, timing belt, waterpump, 19# injectors, chip, painted it white and a bunch of crap inbetween. I have done all work whild driving the car as my daily and it has never left me stranded. I would love to eventually join the mtech 2 bandwagon and upgrade all the bumpers and side cladding but that is pricey and i have kept a really strict budget on this car. Still a work in progress, what do you think?

what wheels are those? They look awesome on the car. Car looks really good, I love PB's on early model cars.

There is actually two different sets, one in the pic when i first got the car before paint they were some crappy bent wrong offset wheels, but i soon came across an almost identical set of ROH wheels in the correct backspacing and fitment. A 15mm space would still probally help flush things up a bit. I will get some interior pics up soon I recovered some beat up old sport seats with 40 bones worth of naugahide and many hours of learing how to make the covers and how to use the sewing machine. Not easy and far from perfect but enough talking i will get some pics up.
