my first e30(doing a m50 swap with zf trans)and a Wrx brake booster(drift car)

[osborne519]

Hello all. I'm new here I've been a Subaru nut for most of my life but I've always loved the look of a BMW especially the E30. My roommate and best friend(boostineuros) has had several different models over the years all of which i enjoyed driving so i finally decided to purchase one of my own......

Anyways this car was originally owned by our friend Cory's sister in-law it was her car in high school but then the transmission exploded and they purchased a new one... but it was never installed and someone along the way thought it was a wonderful idea to attempt to paint it(fail). It sat for 4 or 5 years and the tires were sunk into the mud so I convinced them to sell it to boostineuros for 400 and he did. He decided to part the car and after we pulled the motor/trans we realized the car was in great condition beside the paint there is no rust except for a small spot on a fender but its just surface rust were the paint attempt wasnt primed, interiors good except a few small spots and a cracked dash. so he offered it to me for 200 dollars if he could keep the motor/trans exhaust i accepted and here it is my 1986 325 4door







and the 02 wrx if anyone cares it has a saab 9-2x hatch, tail lights, bumper, and full interior except dash and front seats, cobb stage 2,sti brembos, teinflex coilovers and about every bushing replaced .. the list goes on
