    My E30 91 318i

    I'm a college student, currently not employed but I always love e30's and bought one.
    Its not the best looking E30 but I Love it and slowly bringing her up to par. PO did a poor job so I changed brake pads and rotors all around including parking brake. Most if not all of the front end parts including control arms, tie rod, and sway bar links were changed as well. Up next is a good paint job, suspension and new shoes.
