    My new Project

    Hi guys,
    I just picked up a 1990 325i (slushbox). I really wanted a manual coupe but what can you do? Timing belt/water pump and hoses have been done. Ties rods, a couple of tires and the valve cover gasket, transmission filter and fluid are next on the menu.
    Cell phone antenna was removed this morning as well as a bunch of window stickers.

          It actually doesn't look bad with the white trim. Post up pics after the touch up!

                Time for better than I-phone pics... I replaced the on board computer bulbs today. And replaced a dome light bulb while I was at it. Aside from that she has been trouble free.

                      Try WD-40 on the hinges.
