    Zero to..... Regnu's 325is

    Well I am proud to announce I am no longer just a lurker. Some how the stars aligned and I am now the proud owner of a Alpine on Cardinal '87 325is.

    As you will see in the below pictures, I have a lot of work ahead of me but the price was right. Almost everything that came off the car is with it.. Anyone getting rid of an Alpine pass front fender? ;) I hope to be able to put it back in running order with the help of a few good friends and then go from there. So check back as I intend to update this thread as this project progresses.

    So with out any further babbling... on with some pics.

    Waiting on a tow..






    Finally on the truck..




    Arriving..


    So it looks like I'll be picking up some bar tabs for quite awhile. Remember those few good friends?

    A thanks need to go out to the previous owner for letting me tow it away. So far this has cost me a total of $102 for the tow.

    first mod... Jersey Cow E30 :p


    Had to cover up some bare metal that had some surface rust sanded of it by the PO. I think I'll start worrying about the paint after it is running again.

    Thanks for looking :beer:

      Nice car. Looks just like the one I picked up for $350. Mine is alpine on cardinal too. I've been restoring it for a year now...

      How are the seats? I'm a big fan of cardinal.

            The front seat need help and I am hoping I can get the back seats cleaned up and looking good. I'll snap some pics of the interior so you can see what I have to work with.

            Good Day to you sir! I think your car may have finally made me realize that white is hotter than red :p Plans as of now are just to get it back together and running. Then get new paint.

            The 337 is alive and well, Wren is really liking the idea of have it as her daily once I get this running. Recently the front and rear bumpers got dinged.. time for some euro bumpers and a little shaving w00t..

            Here is how she sits today.. well with out the dings


            Thanks for the comment all. I certainly hope this turns into a good thread and a hot E30. I just hope my wallet doesn't let me or you down.. lol

                      This is going to take alot of Caturdays.
                      But it will be worth it, as long as you dont turn it into a vw.....;)
                      And as far as bar tabs go, thanks for showing up last night. It wasn't the same beating everyone at darts but you.
                      Wasn't there a black e30 at the shop yesterday? Where is my custom M3 gill?
                      Yours truly,

                        Screw VW. I think I'll put Audi Quattro badges on it :p

                        Sorry I didn't make it make it out, I need to save my energy for next weekend ;)

                        As for the M3 fender grill?? You should keep it.

                        Before..

                              Maybe when John gets his heap running we will take the e30s on a florida vacation.
                              Pretty sure that's part of a Jag grille.
