    My DD thread

    well its monsoon season outside, so i thought i would start my build thread.

    im just going to preface this with saying that this is not the nicest e30 you are ever going to see. but its mine.

    picked it up for 1600, 194k on the clock.

    1990 325is
    5spd
    originally white, black respray. its not so bad, but not so good.

    guy had a good amount of records, no mods done to the car, only maintenance.

    bought it,
    drove it,
    cleaned it out,
    swapped in a new steering rack (old one leaked),
    bought some basketweaves,
    changed all the fluids(oil, transmission, diff),
    changed the timing belt and waterpump,
    put on the 4-spoke i had chillin in the other bimmer,
    new stereo head unit,
    snapped some pics.

    these pics are from after i smoked the tails and blacked the kidneys. didnt like it, switched them back to stock.

    sorry my camera isn't better:

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm dat ass



    since then,
    ive pulled all the tint out,
    got new shift boot and ebrake boots,
    e30 leather ebrake handle
    mtech 1 steering wheel
    finished the shadowline
    hella lights on rally style lightbar
    swapped the seats in from the white car. tan comfort seats, with some rattiness, but they arent as bad and at least they match.

    on the list:
    suspension (Ive got all the parts, they just need to find their way onto the car) CHECK
    roof rack CHECK
    zhp shift knob JK FEBI-BISTEIN CHECK
    oem floormats
    magnaflow muffler
    eurogrills
    ellipsoids
    IS lip

    more pics soon.

        right now i have vogs, kybs, CA's, CAB's, RSM's, e90 drop hats, and strut mounts all sitting in a box. 26th is when they are getting on.

        and yeah, the paint is really something im not happy with. although i guess its a good starting car, and this way im not afraid to try new things and see how stuff looks. next e30 i get will be a nice one, no doubt.

                      Not every E30 can be clean and perfect. But almost all of them still kick ass.

                      Good starting point.
