Hey guys it’s been a long time since I have posted a build but I figured this one is worth sharing!
So I’ll introduce you to the white pearl, I call it that because the car was a very neglected 1989 325i sedan repainted pearl white. With the being said you’d think ... gross. But ! This was a virtually rust free New England car that has only been painted 1 time in its life ! That’s a rarity that I’m sure all New England car guys will agree with.
So I found this car on Craigslist for $2500 and upon looking at that pix it seemed well worth a look. So I get intouch with the owner and he sounds to be close to my age/generation, he says come by and check it out ! So I head over and meet his father ... clearly not a car guy at all but very friendly. Story on the car is it hasn’t been on the road for 10 years it needed a “sensor” he stated because it would die and not restart. He’s telling me this information as the car is running, durning his story im looking over at the motor and notice the head is smoking (great sign) open the coolant res and it’s dead empty. So I look the car over and it literally has NO rust , interior is trash, tires dry rotted, painted by a person with little to no vision. I tell the guy that I’m fairly familiar with these cars and I said I’m fairly sure it needs a motor, we talk for a bit and I say “listen I’ll give you $1000 and I’ll get it out of here today” he agrees and I come back with a truck and trailer and bring her home.
