my '87 325is build

[tyleRcoey]

i was updating my intro thread before discovering this was a more appropriate place to document the build.

bought the car bone stock in fairly rough condition 3 months ago...
heres how it sits right now -


since im beginning my build thread having already started ill backtrack just a bit to show some progress pics of whats been done so far -

when i got the car the bumper was cracked and re installed with wood screws... first thing i did was repair it.




the fender was also crunched, so rather than rock it in black primer till i get it painted i decided to wrap it in houndstooth haha




the drivers side fog was also broken so with the help of a friend i fabricated up this aluminum and PVC induction port to fill its place...
im looking for another fog though so if you have one let me know!


perfect headrest/ski hole rear seats


german check panel


and heres a couple parts i just got in waiting to go on...
euro smoked hellas with a complete wiper kit and an analog clock



heres the car with e RS's installed -

Cover the gas door with the houndstooth! Just for the haters :)

hahaha i def get a lot of mixed reactions on the fender, but its there for a reason...
i will be having the whole car resprayed but its a couple months out and the primer on the fender would hold water and get funky... had to cover it with something in the meantime so i figured it might as well be something obnoxious!

also, im removing the rally lights in prep for the euro smoked hellas to be installed if anyone wants em... ill let them go with the brackets and wiring harness at a good deal.

the rear is tucked, and i actually have already attempted to tuck the front but something has frozen up the shocks...
i will probably end up tucking them when i can get around to figuring out the issue.
