The euro white rocket! pt. 1+2

[mikeedler]

So, I need a new winter car for this winter. as some of you know, My red M tech I got stripped and lotsa parts were sold. Soooo
I was surfing e-bay the other day, and won my next project- and what a sweet project it is! A 325e automatic!!!! 1986 4 door- alpineweiss
picked it up the other day with the wife, was a 6 hour trip back and forth. the car rode great.
So today i began with Part II
I ripped the interior out and cleaned it, and put a back seat in it(the old owner had 2 12" subs in it as the back seat. I put 2 sport seats in the front, and cleaned the crap out of it. check out the pics of when i picked it up.-- the ics make it look better than it is, but what do you expect for 356 euros with 2 years of inspection on it.
Its got some rake!!! 60/40 drop- no idea what company yet.
I have the alpina cow catcher and m tech I skirts that will be going on, along with 15" baskets and a bunch of other jive.

and heres a few pics of todays progress. Still debating what i want to do about the motor. It runs nice. butt i have all the parts in my garage to make it run with about 70 more hp.butt its an auto, so well see.
I scrubbed the complete interior down, and sprayed bleach all over the car to try to get it white again- it was a sort of alpinebraun/weiss color.

I am glad i am not aroused by this winter car like i was with your red one. I wont feel bad for it getting snowned. But still i am sure this will be better than most cars on this forum. I cant wait to start a new project and just go a completley different route from what i have now, i need to finish my current car first.

[mikeedler]

exactly why i bought this car. I have been going crazy with no e30 to mess with. me personally, i hate 4 door e30s, and i think automatic bmws are aweful- so i went out and bought a combo of both. i have to say the auto feels nice- and in about 4 weeks, this car should look pretty hot.
dont forget to check out the air horn!!! hahahahhaha
and in the first pic, you can see some of my collection of E30 skeletons.

Hey, that's pretty cool. That's exactly the kind of e30 I want to have as a daily commuter/college beater. Looks like it cleaned up nice and loving those euro bumpers.

You say you parts to make 70 more hp? How? Also, are euro ETAs way different or better than NA ETAs?

[mikeedler]

they are all the same euro/ U.S. except bumpers and crap like that.
the 325i head, and everything else 325i works great to bring it up to atleast 185 hp. from the stock 122hp.
