I just picked up this 325E that needs some tlc. Not going to be a crazy project just a fixer upper motly with some small mods. Overall the body is in good condition minimal rust and just a few dings. My plans for this is daily driver that will look bad! I have new brakes, SS lines, ATE brake fluid, IE strut brace and a few pirces of trim and weatherstrip on there way.
When i got it the shifter had so much slop to go into reverse i had to push the shifter into the center console!! i found out the rubber mounts were shot that hold the shifter to the trans so i JB welded them and drilled new holes. Now its feeling much better!
The previous owner must have ripped off the front lip on something because it was all half ass bolted on so im working on that right now.
Im not sure what kind of rims i want to put on im torn between basketweaves or some cheap simple 5 spokes with nice lips. After the brakes i plan on throwing some drop springs with the rims. Also collapse the massive diving boards ewww.
The paint and body is too scratched up to salvage so ill bang out the dents and fill the scratches. Then im going with a satin/textured simmilar color red.... or go flat black.
