    The time has come...........

    to say good bye to the old shell that was home to my swap. She was good to me even tho she had some trouble rust spots but now, Thanks to M-Technic-3 (Greg), I have a new home for my swap. She is a 90 325i who is a Great candidate for the 24 valve. I gave her light cosmetic surgery buy compounding and buffing, due to the fact that she was all faded and has lost her clear coat.
    More to come on the project. Engine bay, full respray, and some needed maintenance is in the works. Here she is in my work garage.
    I know that she survived the tornado and all, but I'm not letting her go just like that...she will stil l be in the family....lol

    My old baby...

    New Girl...

                    UPDATE:
                    Well, after a long week of trying to figure out what to do, I decided to start ripping her apart. Everything looks good for now, no holes,rust, or secret defects. M20 is coming out and the 24valve is going in. But first, engine bay is getting some love.
                    Pics to come.......

I've seen pics of e30's rolling through africa with at least 15-20 africans on them with ak-47's. WILD. its in the african blood. Hope this wasn't too racist, forgive me as I am intoxicated.
