    1000 Miles & 19 Hours...

    And I have my car. 90' 325i.







    Going to go through all the basics now, hopefully should be ready for the track come next spring.

            Any more details about it?

            Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

                    good:
                    Looks clean
                    Mechanically sound
                    It's RWD

                    bad:
                    LOOKS clean, has some dents, and some cancer
                    Tires are scary, questioned driving back
                    Was resprayed, kind of half assed at Macco

                    Plans are to tune her up, change all the floo-ids, new tires on Friday, rotors/pads/fluid, stop what rust it has, pretty nasty near the battery box. That will do until I put it away for winter.

                    Then the real fun starts.

                      awesome car, what took you so long? Trailered the car?

                      I travel NC to Iowa, a little bit over 1000 miles in 13:48 (record time) 14:12 (slowest time). Looking forward to beating that on thanksgiving.
