    From e28 to e30(finally)

    Hi new here so I thought this would be a great place to say hello, I've been wrenching on older BMWs and diesel Benz for a long time and driven plenty of each but mostly e28s and w123s...well now I finally sold the old 528e and got my first e30, a 1991 325ic

    Sorry in advance for the el crappo cell pics on some of these, I do have a good camera and will use it from this day forth ;)

    This had to go...


    To get this (night that i got her running enough to make a 19 hour trip)


    Of course she needed some "minor" work




    But with some patience and some wiring diagrams she's good as new




    well and some detailing too. rebuilt the seats, installed a cheap head unit for now and a lot of cleaning. There will be tons more to do in the future but for now I'm super happy her :up:

        Whoa, what's with the fuse panel replacement? I remember replacing mine, but it was just the panel itself.
        Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

              the PO had wired in an aftermarket alarm that fried and took out the entire box and DME harness(or so the stealership called it) so I spliced a new one into what was left of the orginal

                              My vert has minty blue int. I wasnt a fan of it at first, but it really does grow on you. I wish mine still had the blue top like yours though..
