The Turdy Burgundrot 30

[Aviator]

I bought this ol 84 325e for $300 a few years ago. And all it really needed was a good cold start valve which I got for $10. But after driving it a few miles, I realized it needed a lot more work than that.

Thanks to a friend Mark at his shop in Billings started with a new fuel tank and all new fuel lines with one new fuel pump in the tank. Then a put it on a fuel injection cleaner and ran it for an hour. It had some Ford van air intake system on it, so had a correct BMW intake installed. Threw a 3.73 lsd on. Control arms. Motor and trans mounts. Stainless steel brake lines. New pads and master cylinder. Found some 17x7 Racing Harts at a garage sale for $300. And just had the car repainted in the original Burgundrot metallic with oem mtech 1 side skirts from guten parts. Up next is euro bumpers and more mtech 1 goodness. Then a drop of some sort. Then an M50 or something hot under the hood. :-D

Heres a few crappy phone pics. The interior is rough, so no pics of it yet. One day I'll have new seats and carpet in there.

Shorty after I bought the car.



With a fresh respray, racing hart 17x7 wheels, and mtech 1 side skirts.

Wow looking good. Love the transformation, it was pretty bad when you first got it.

Looks good. Put some new window lock strips in and it'll be even better.

[Aviator]

Is that the strip that's in the middle that was once chrome and is now shit brown? Yeah I'm replacing that today.

Awesome transformation going on here, and burgundrot is one of my favorites!

Thinking of ditching the Asa's for 15x8 et 20 C1's with 225/45 rubber. Just wondering g if I'll have to bend the lips with those rims. Also looking at some used recaros or some new Corbeaus since my drivers side sport seat has cracked around the frame and I doubt it's fixable. That and the bolster is shit, and it leans like a gangster stance.

Yep, that's the one. AFAIK you can replace it with a late model version, which comes in black. They're easy enough to shadowline either way.

Needs moar low before anything else.

No mo low. Great falls has horrible roads lol. The tires I picked for the Asa's are way to short. Can't remember what size but they should be a size or two taller to help fill in the fender gap more. Looks like the drop was only .5" because of them.
