My 86 325e...

[Psycho_Teddy]

Im new to the BMW world do its been some reading of forums but I think its going to be fun. Im open to parts suggestions, the only thing is know is NO Forced induction or Nitrous. I have a fast car dont need another this is really just something to play with/DD. It looks rough in the pictures but it started up and drove 90 miles on over 2 year old gas so that made me happy. Smelled like I was refinishing furniture while I was driving. Not Really wanting to put a ton into it just have something to drive and buy parts for that I dont really need.

None the less Im Meeks and Im odd. Hello

holy fucking rough e30 how much did you pick this thing up for? welcome to r3v my friend, its not only an e30 community but many other things as you will soon learn.

[Psycho_Teddy]

2.7 =D

[Psycho_Teddy]

Thanks for the welcomes. Im actually working on cleaning the wiring up today. Like I said its just something for me to finish stripping and drive/play with. If it was nicer Id never do the stripping to it.

stripping for what? restore or track? is it two tone? might just be the pics....any gloss black with touch up the paint btw! nice starting ground. big projects are always fun projects IMO.

Its basically going to be a Daily Driven track car.

So the wiper linkage was broke...

The only feasible way to get it out take the dash out and strip out all the Hvac stuff :D
Also cleaned out some plugs wires and switches that Im never going to use.

Now just need the linkage, build heat box, make swith panel where factory where radio and HVAC was and then the dash can go back in.

youve got some work ahead. keep it up. 300 bucks you cant beat it

For building the heatbox, I suggest using some plexiglass and cooling fans to replace the heater. It's practically a patented r3v process. There's an article about it floating around somewhere.
