Hello All,
Id like to introduce my 1987 325 project that sadly I have left abandoned for about 5 years now.
Unfortunately, I don't have as many photos as I would like, but I'll share what I do have and tell the story of the project progress and eventual halt until now when I am resurrecting it.
I bought the car in June 2018 and promptly pulled the engine.
E30 progress 1
I was quite quick to disassemble and clean to start the 3.1 build

sourced and cleaned up an 885 head from craigslist (is that the right number? i cant remember now.) actually had to source 2 heads as i let the first one bake too long in the ultrasonic cleaner with the wrong detergent. Life Lesson.

Engine Assembly finished up on March of 2019. This is where I will stop for now. Hopefully I will find some time in the coming days to expand on the story.
