    My 1984 325e, second life

    Some snaps of my car. I bought this in 2007 as a daily driver. I kept up with the mechanical stuff, but a series of idiots pulling into me, across me and in front of me left the car in bad shape. The final nail was when someone used a crowbar to rip my glove box open.

    I bought a Mini in 2012 and turned this car over to my wife, who, God love her, left the car sitting for two years. I finally couldn't take it anymore and got it back up and running, with new bilsteins, a timing belt and valve job. Next stop is the body shop.

    Eventual projects will probably include a chip, lsd, new glove box, dropping it about an inch, refresh the bottlecaps, chrome trim, mirrors, shine up the diving boards and probably HIDs

      Sweet man! Hopefully you can fix the hood alignment, also looks like the drivers fender and drivers side of the valance got a bit tweaked.

            Minor update on this car . I've replaced the creased hood and had things straighten up somewhat. It's going to take a new core support to get the front end completely flush. That said, I'm thinking about selling this car and I'm curious what a fair asking price would be. In addition to the recent stuff (timing belt, valve adjustment, billy sports) It's got brand new tires, alternator and working ac
