My new daily beater!!

[karzrtoyz]

Here I have 7 e30s and they are all in various stages of restoration-so none of them are can be driven. I decided that I was deprived enough and picked up another one just as a daily. Found a MINT 1987 325IS 5speed with all the books, dealership serviced upto now- And the previous owner was crazy enough to spend $3000 to have all the black leather seats to be redone!! Anyways, got the car home and put on some junk yard parts I had sitting around. Here are the pics for your viewing.

BEFORE: DAY 1





AFTER: THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND









STARTED TO SHADOWLINE IT WITH OEM PARTS:

Wow, clean swap man. Do u have any pictures of the rear from further away? You plan on getting a valance?

[Teaguer]

Looks like he just spaced the rear out and trimmed the ends .
The most popular way to do it for the last 20 years .

Wheres my oilpan homeboy ? :D

Did you trim the rear bumper to fit the early e30?? Or is it as is?

[brandondan1]

I m gonna go with a aftermarket rear apron, I think I found a zender one that will work.

This is a pic of it before I shaved the ends with the dremmel.

I trimmed the edges with a dremmel- and turned out nice. You also have to shave the inside where the sliders lock to - so you can get a tighter tuck to the body.
