My new daily driver, a slow build

[eTHURTY]

I finally made the big switch. I sold my 2008 Gti and bought a 1987 325is. Before switching i made sure all the mechanics were done such as water pump, timing belt, vavle cover gasket and oil pan gasket. Im goin to take pics and update.

here are some things I would like to do...

new radio/speakers
convert to plastic bumpers
install a roof rack
paint job
fix speedo & gas guage
fix a/c

I've done some minor stuff such as,

dye the rug and headliner black
fix door check
install new struts

So as i build im open to opinions ;)

HUGE improvement in the interior. At least it looks that way in the pics. What did you use to dye the carpet?

I forgot the name of it, but it was a plastic, vinyl and carpet spray can. ran about 9.97 a can. I used a total of 4 cans for the rug. Also, the rug came out not to hard.

What did you use on the seats and door cards?

I got the seats reupholstered and the color is off on the door panels im still waiting for some dye. The new vinyl color is a tad bit off from cardinal but still looks good in my opinion ;)

Nice! The interior does look a lot better! And I like what you did to the carpet, I would like to that on my car too, as I hate the current color of it.
