1984 318i build

[HENNAROT318i]

My crazy idea worked! I now have a matching rear seat with headrests!

I was wondering if this is something rare, as I have yet to see another one. I am trying to find some info on it before I start trying to clean it up and possibly ruin it.

Spent the morning cleaning the carpet, I know it is still stained a little. That doesn’t matter though, because I am going to re dye the carpet. The seats have arrived and I think I am going to attempt something crazy. Also the rack and IE mounting kit showed up.

I have been thinking about the seats and have decided to get a set out of an e90. The reason for this is I like the seats in my wife’s f90, but e90 seats are cheaper. So I bought some that are the same style as the f90. I will post pictures when the arrive this weekend.

Came home tonight at a package of goodies, my injectors came. I decided to throw them in real quick. They seem to have fixed my super rich running problem, however now I have discovered it is way out of time. So I guess I will have to work on setting the timing.

Had a triage day on the car, found out it needs oil pan gaskets, valve cover gaskets, new injectors, and the rack is toast. This has led me to buy a set for refurbed injectors and a new rack setup. I have decided to go with a z3 rack conversion. Figured it was my best bang for my buck as far as a repair and upgrade all in one. I will post pictures of the work being done as things arrive.

Hold on tight, it’s just the beginning.

Well the build is directed by 2 factors, I want to show that you can have a fun to drive m10 and I have a tight budget of 6k. The car needs some things to be drivable, so I will have to be smart with my purchases to have enough left over for some goodies. The goal of the build is to have a car that is comfortable to drive and respectable enough to take to local car shows.

Hell yea dude gonna keep my eye on this for sure. What are your plans for it?

[HENNAROT318i]

Here are some pictures of what I am starting with. Mice were in the car so it will be getting a new interior, probably something custom. The best part is it is solid, came up from Georgia.

I have decided to start a build thread for probably the most hated e30, a 1984 318i. The car has the m10 with L jet and 3hp22 auto. The car is a pretty bare bones base model. I am starting this thread to show some love to these cars and show that you can make them into a respectable and enjoyable car.
