    My 318is :)

    So a few months ago i bought my new baby :) shes a 318is with 103k on the clock and bought her for 3 figures :)



    so the first night i drove her the alt belt snaps and the battery decided to die. next morning new belt and battery and off we go. 5 hours later my starter motor decided to die. not a good start to a relationship lol

    new starter and shes all good



    she wasnt really spoilt by the previous owner so she hadnt been washed for a few years i think. massive paint buffin session overhaul was needed



    checked her over after doing a service and she was looking good :)



    few new bits and bobs



    then went to take some pics :)





    after a few weeks of not having any power steering i decided to fix it



    then my drivers door starter to be funny and my lock cylinder broke :( and at the same time the p/s door actuator gave in lol

      Sounds like you're doing all the right things. I just fixed my door lock, but I still always walk to my trunk anyway, out of habit.

        Alpine 318is's are always great. This one is no exception.
