    My $700 1987 325is

    Hey guys it is my first post being on the forum. I bought it for $700 of craigslist. Needs a good clean and some new leather in the seats. Car was sitting about 1-2 years as the guy lost the keys in the move. Anyways he said it would not start or even turn over. Showed up primed the gas and tapped the starter and it fired up. Anyways it will be towed home then time for new belts,water pump,fuel and fuel filter, etc. Anyways here is a picture of the bad boy.

        still having the "cowcatcher" front valance bracket is a pretty sweet thing man.

        future plans?

            nice pick up, looks like it needs some love, but for that money can't really go wrong.

                When I get it home I can make up something for the valance brackets. I will be on a hunt for a valance at some point. Plans are to make it a daily drive and autocross/tack rat.

                    Gates off rock auto with seals is $32 plus ship. Since I'll be ordering other things from them it will be a nice order of $150 in stuff.
