    1987 325is Daily/Project

    Hello peoples,

    My name is Alexi and I just picked up this e30 (it needs some TLC)


    UPDATED CURRENT PICTURE: 7/28/09


    I hope to bring it back to some sort of dull luster, when I clean it on Thursday. I've been driving/building VW's for the past 5 years and decided to make a change for my daily driving.

    Hope to learn some stuff while I am here.
    Thanks

    A few extra pix



    Also Picked up some Recaros this past weekend, need a lil' love but good base to replace the gangsta lean drivers seat.
    HMS as bracket sets for $167 that good?

          Listen, I bought the car as you see it. If anything was done incorrectly, I am finding it out as I go.

            Nice! You got one with a glass moonroof. Is it an OEM moonroof? Wait....maybe its black?

              That's what I'm talking about. People just buy GC cuz it's popular now and have absolutely no clue wtf is going on. What is supporting the weight of the car? the 3 bolts and washers?! damn. Do not drive the car until you get those plates on right.

                      Thanks for the welcome dude.

                      As is sits now, the camber plates have been re-installed correctly, put on a volvo lip that came with the car. Today I stopped by redhoooodryders hoooouse to drop off some tires for him to roll on and so that I can get me some new wheeellz. Thanks for the chrome kiddneys, looks mucho betta.

                      Brackets for the seats being paid for in the AM and ordering a tune up kit for next week.

                      I still have yet to go sideways, some day...haha
