    My Delphin Project

    I bought a 89 325i with a blown head gasket for $300.
    when i was walking up to see it I knew i wanted it, so i bought it and trailer it home the same night.
    This is how it looked right off the trailer.












    Valance off to do some straightening

    Better

    Clean tail lights

    motor all back together
    New gaskets, belts, got the head cleaned and surfaced.

    Nice to know i have a spare to count on

    Missing one pedal

    classic e30 pic

    As it sits now

    waiting to go on


    and maybe this

    OHHH on some whoring or the other one

    This is going to be a slow build, I will be learning as I do.
    That was my first head gasket replaced and it came out great, with the help of my friend.

      I want to get the 5 spd conversion in, headers, chip and suspension.
      Then clean it up and make it look nice

            Ok that's cool. The car looks like it should clean up well. 300s a great price.

                  I just had a quick look, all the wheels are bent specially the rear left one thats why it looks like it has positive camber.
                  I need to have a better look tho

                  The PO bought the car like that back in november from a police auction.

                    Nice little car. I wish mine was Delphin Grey. I bet the trailing arm in the back is bent. That is gnarly. Good luck on the project brother!

                        Definitely take a look at the rear trailing arm. Kudos on the head gasket job. Looks like it can make a nice ride.
