So ive been aggressively searching for a new daily and as i had a e30 for my first car i thought that it would be cool to have one again and so the search began. After seeing a few cars i knew i wanted one with mint paint and no rust as anything else is easy to fix for me. i looked at the one in abbotsford for $7300 it was clean but not 7300 dollars clean. so i continued my search but kept in contact with the owner after seeing a few more cars i thought it was gonna take me forever to find one that i wanted in my price range. i contacted the abbotsford one, one more time and we worked out a deal at $5500 and i couldnt be happier. 2 owner car lady owned it since 98. no rust (as in not even surface rust underneath) all maintenance work done all it needed was a clean up polish and it was good to go. Now enough of my rambling onto the pictures
A little back ground my first e30 also a 1991 318is, Then i went through a few random cars a couple e36s and a jetta. Now, my weekend car is a turbo e36 m3 that took me a few years to put together...
ill upload a completed engine bay shot soon not sure where they went
day i brought it home. paint looks good in pictures but the doors hood and roof were pretty badly oxidized and covered with sap spots
day one of ownership: interior delete
didnt get a pic of the interior after the clean-up. installed new alpine deck, changed all the blown light bulbs and fixed the broken defroster switch.
here you can see how oxidized the paint was couldnt get a deecent picture thou. this was on the roof
AFTER
And the only spot of concern on the drivers side fender
Plans for the car are as follows
euro m3 font 5lug+brakes (have)
z3m rear 5lug (in search of)
throwing stars ( Have a lead)
Ast4100s (have)
1 touch windows, podi vent gauage and a few other interior electronics(on waiting list)
s50b32+6speed(have)
the car will stay stock till i can locate the last of the 5 lug stuff and will swap it all in at once. the s50 will go in during the winter
