    I Am New Here and This Is My Ride!!!

    Hi guys,

    What's up people!!! I am new here and am looking forward to learn and read anything, everything about e30 here on the forum.

    history of her: (1986 325es)
    I have been dailying her for about 8 months. Car was bought 3.5 years ago by my oldest brother, but last year, she overheated and leaked coolant like crazy. Because of that, she had been sitting on my back yard for about half year, and then I decided to fix her and found out that it was just a cracked radiator hose. So, I replaced it, and sh became my daily!!!!! (yay~)
    We have never done anything on her other than wheels and tires, a roof rack, and euro bumpers.

    here are pics of her



    She is a LIAR!!! She looks good, but there are a few problems.
    1st) Steering rack is leaking very bad that I have to add 1 quart of ATF into the power steering every week. Have already gotten an e36 rack and swap kit, ready to be swapped!!!
    2nd) I believe she's on cut springs. Front is too soft that she always bottom out.
    3rd) Front wheel hub is bad.
    4th) Rotors are rusty and pads are almost done.

    Please welcome me to the forum!! LOL

    Welcome to r3v
    Any history on the timing belt?
    Fix the mechanics before the cosmetics.
    Good luck!

        I didn't know any history of her but was told the belt was replaced before it was bought. Yea, also the shifter is sloppy, need to rebuild that too. I have bought a z4 2.5 shifter for her already!!!

                    Those are Rota OS Mesh's gunmetal 15x8 et20 with 20mm spacers. I am going to get rid of the spacers and have gotten a set of 15x7 bbs rg2.
