    '88 325is zinno to be continued..

    Well its been a long wait and I finally decided it was necessary to buy an e30 and I must say I enjoy every second of it and I do not regret buying this beautiful machine. Found the car on craigslist, the previous owner was very nice told me he drove the car from Cali to NY reason being the car has no rust =). I have lots of plans for this car but now I am most focused on catching up on all aspects of maintenance. All constructive criticism is accepted and highly appreciated.

    Pics of old owner






    First things I did on the car was wax and buff the paint and was amazed how the red came back. Also took time out to do a dashboard swap which was easier then I thought.





    Got tired of the bottle caps and bought a set of ronal's

          Really liking the way your going about it so far. I have an '87 zinno, and the same story, paint really comes back to life with some elbow grease. Keep it clean like you have so far and you've got a winner.

                          looks great man, is that a late model rear valance on it? or is it because its an 88?
