    My cabby's ugly brother

    Well I sold my convertible on Friday and this one popped up on the Portland craigslist on Saturday. My buddy and I were on the road in a crusty old VW Bug within an hour of talking to the guy. 89 325i Black on black, a bunch of miles, and pretty rough around the edges. Needs some interior TLC, needs to have the fender repainted along with a new rear bumper, and its got some cheap, knock off "racing" seat that has to go. Tons of new shit though. Newer motor, trans, supsension, and lots of other stuff. Should be a fun project...I hope.

    -Ryan

    Nice find. Can't wait to see what happens when you get to work on this one.

      Doesn't look like a bad start. Have fun.

        Looks like a good base to start with.

          Looks like a nice foundation. Might look better with some decent wheels on it, though. ;)

            Bingo. I can't wait! I'm trying to track down some H&R Race springs too. It has Bav Auto springs now and they leave much to be desired.

              It looks like a great starting platform. Doesn't look too bad in the pics.

                Its nice to see when someone takes an E30 off the wrong hands and puts it in the right direction.

                  Well if anyone wants this thing I'm sure it will be on the Portland Craigslist again in a few days. I'm getting my money back. Title issues. :letitout:
