    My $153 BMW...On the road again!



    Took about 2 hours last night to get her running and driving after years of neglect. Now it purrs like a kitten and revs strong. Too bad the clutch it weak. Will be fixing it up to sell or keep - not sure.

          It's cheap and pretty rust free - but needs body work on the nose. There is also bondo on the drivers 1/4. It will become more expensive once i swap the clutch, reseal the engine, and swap in a new interior. Still has cali plates, too.

                The turbo consists of a shell that has been sanded down to bare metal and primed and boxes upon boxes of parts. Parts worthy of mention - MSII, T4 Turbo, Callaway manifold, 318i injection w/ 40 lb injectors, 325i tb with variable TPS and pigtail. That's where I'm at. I've got 3 motors to blow up while tuning. I've also got early 6 rear seats and 320is recaos in good shape ready to go. It's got billy sports, eibach springs, 22/19 sways and poly bushings

                              To be honest - I'm a little scared of how much power i think it will make.
