    Meet my little Girl! :)

    Hi there! Several months ago, my boyfriend began a reconstruction project of a 1989 325i for me. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=196728 Thats the original thread.. basically it looked like this:





    Many changes have been made since then. (According to my boyfriend), there are now bbs basket weaves on the car and bilstein sports all around lowered on H&R sport springs. All bushings and mounts have been changed since it had a broken engine mount, trans mount, and a worn out tire rod bushing. The brakes have been upgraded and special seat mounts were made since the prior seat did not allow me to reach the pedals or sit high enough to see over the dash/steering wheel. The engine is also a 2.7i that was totally rebuilt. The interior now has a nicer black interior with black and grey door cards. Here is a preview of what it looks like now:




    It needs a respray since the paint is not perfect, but with a wash and wax, I believe that she has spruced up well. :)

              I find it hard to believe that with the seat in the full up and forward position that you could not reach or see. you'd have to be a midget.


              nice car btw

                She's 4'10 3/4 inches. I would even wager that she's the shortest person to own a e30. haha We had to take another e30 seat cut off the bracket to move forward and backwards, then weld it on the bottom of her current seat. Basically if goes double forward and backwards now. The seat was also raised about 3 inches do to said bracket.

                  My girlfriend is pushing 5'2", and when driving, she cannot put the clutch all the way in without sliding forward in the seat ( we put a pillow behind her..yah), soooo, I have been looking into something like this. Interesting. I will have to give that a shot. Nice work.
