project de-rice

[e30:)]

i got this 87 325is for 400$ it came with some rusty springs, koni yellow and a wack ass body kit. it ran good when i bought it but little did i know the oil cooler was split and it ran itself out of oil on the way home and the motor seized. while im waiting for a motor i figured i might as well clean it up, put my ground controls on it and DE-RICE the poor thing. it will be slow but i will make sure to take pics. thanks for looking





back bumper off putting diving board on later today

wow poor car, I hope you get it back to its previous glory

[e30:)]

yeah it looks to have had a hard and rice filled life. but there is only one dent on the body, its just a little guy under the rear lisence plate. much cleaner than my es

glad youre bringing it back from rice? Why dboards though? as long as they are of why not try to find some plastics?

[e30:)]

i want plastics but i dont have the skill to make them look right. maybe in the future but i for now im sticking with db.
