I picked up this 318is a couple weeks ago. It drove like hell bringing it home. but it did run. Needed new tie rods, wheel bearings asap.
finally made it to its new home
good body. Absolutely 0 rust. mechanically sound (motor wise). the interior was gross.
Advance autoparts racing seats and shift knob
yum
random wires for who knows what. one of the past owners must have had some sort of system in it
smelled like a dog/cat/cow/ and dying chickens
even after cleaning, scrubbing, rubbing, steaming, and chemicals that made everyone dizzy. I decided i just didnt want to go in this direction. and didnt wanna start out this interior with crap
cleaned a little bit. started to show white
I got carpet from a guy on here. Should be getting it around wednesday.
since I decided to change the carpet, needed front and rear seats. i decided to do a full black interior swap
started on the underside while waiting on interior
car seems pretty clean
new parts
rotors, pads, wheel bearing, and temporary springs until i can find myself some coilovers
some stock bottle caps
clean, sanded, and sprayed (again, temp until i find myself a suspension and wheels)
car came with some 17's that i had sold to a local guy
moved on to the motor bay
oil on a couple spark plugs
doesnt look bad to me... but i honeslty not 100% sure what to look for
before:
after:
all gaskets have been replaced, spark plugs, bolts, etc, etc. I will be media blasting the valve cover and intake manifold tomorrow, then spraying them
nothing fancy as of yet. basic stuff. Will be putting everything back together this week.
also picked these up today. I could not find any black sport seats that i was interested in. (for less than $500+ shipping on ebay...)
these were local and a good deal
updates randomly!
comments are welcome, good and bad. this is the first time i do something like this. so help would be great
