Searching for beauty in imperfections- 1984 Henna 325is

[FunfGan]

A few weeks ago my father received this car that a friend of mine had been building for him. Because of the recent heat around here, though, he's opted to let me drive it(no a/c, black leather interior) while he drives his newer Acura. It's aesthetically pretty rough, but has mostly new mechanicals, coilovers and a freshly rebuilt engine. I've absolutely fallen in love.

I am so jealous...

That exhaust though... LOL. A great looking early nonetheless.

I like it! Time to get dad to ditch the sealed beams and throw some projectors in there.

So does it have a M20B25 swap?

Thanks! I'm actually in the middle of getting him a set that a friend is selling, so hopefully soon.

And yes it does. All stock but freshly rebuilt. Just needs something other than a 2.93 open :???:

All the hangers are on properly and all the bushings and stuff are there. The tabs need to be rewelded though.

Haha thanks, I'm looking into getting him a wooden Nardi, or the like.

They are, 15x7. I neglected to tell him that they came in wider sizes before he ordered.

Your happy time blog is quite great.

That is all.

Great looking car! I always have loved the color!

Just completely love that this car stayed around. Was an awesome car to build. :D

This early model is so clean, I wish my paint looked like that.
