Jeez so much has happened, not just the car but life changes. I moved.. Somehow managed to take all the cars with me and best of all, finally have all my damn parts organized in bins. Honestly can't believe that one, I can actually find sh*t now!!
I visited the original owners house of the 325iS and dropped off a bottle of Hennessy, he was super excited to see the progress I've been making with the car and to see her back on the road again. Also visited my S50 swap coupe (if anyone remembers that build) which seems to be doing great. You can see the kid who bought it in the driver seat, he's super happy with that car. If your a real OG of my threads you'll recognize that white coupe in his driveway, that the first e30 I ever owned. So he's bought two e30's off me haha.
All in all I'm happy with the decision I made selling that S50 coupe and keeping this 325iS.
New things to the 325iS though..
-IE Front Sway Bar Reinforcements (not taking any chances with ripped off sway bar tabs)
-Installed a new OE spider hose or whatever it's call.
They're pricey!! I wanted a OE hose (rather then a URO)
-New power steering hoses
The last thing I want to do at this point is the rear subframe bushings/ subframe. It's bent. I thought when I first got the car running new front control arms and stuff would do the trick.. Turned out the right rear trailing arm is bent. Disappointing but that's the chance you take buying a car you can't test drive.
I bought a whole "new" rear subframe though, plan to drop it off at the powdercoaters in the next few weeks. Hope everyone on R3v is doing well in these crazy times, I lost my job at the BMW dealership as a mechanic.
