My E30 Project car

[Gould]

This is my first BMW i bought it as a project for me and my dad to fix up.

its an 89 320i that came from Japan. The body is as close to rust free as im going to find in Nova Scotia unfortunately its an automatic though. Future plans are to swap it to a manual once i have fixed the bumper and exhaust. The car has 144,500 kms on it and starts every time without issues. i paid 850 for it think it was a pretty good deal

Nice find. I like the color. The only thing I gotta say is it needs more duct tape

[Gould]

Yeah the duct tape is a hell of a look haha I need to replace that asap

[DER E30]

Do you tell people "its JDM Yo!" ???

'Cause I know I would!

[Gould]

No one has said it yet but I thought about putting a SO JDM sticker on it to bug people

good start. those rims remind me of my old pontiac sunfire lmao

[Gould]

Sunfire ? Really lol i haven't decided if i will keep those rims or not they are Borbet CF but i'd like to find some basket weaves in good shape i think they suit the car better. Lots to do before i look to replace rims though

Picked up a parts car full of parts some of its just junk and the front ends a mess but it has a good 5 spd and lots of the parts I need for the swap. I also picked up another front bumper cover to replace the broken one

200 for parts car and 60 for the front bumper

Parts car is now stripped completely now to spend the winter finding the remaining odds and ends for the 5 spd swap so work can begin in the spring

[Gould]

Ordered new euro trim for the front of the car today won't be installed til spring but ive got everything i need now to safety inspect it again

That's possibly the worst, rusted e30 I've ever seen.

[Gould]

The parts car? It was pretty terrible yeah it sat in a field for a bit... It was taken off the road cause the control arm mount had broken someone had started to repair the car before they realized how soft the front end was so I did manage to get a lot of good parts off of it though

[Gould]

Got my Euro trim in for the front bumper. Winter can't be over fast enough this year

320i e30. Interesting. Have yet to see one in-person. Look forward to seeing more.

i've only seen a couple 320i around here and long term plans include a motor swap for something more powerful but i have to admit the little 2.0l works really well. its no power house but it runs smooth and fires right up with a turn of the key so no complaints
