So I have been looking for a plastic bumper Alpineweib cabrio for quite a while, even sold the car in my sig to have the cash on hand when the right one popped up. Finally one did in Seattle. I immediately contacted the seller and made a deal, then made the 4.5+ hour drive up with a borrowed trailer. I am so excited to have it back home with me!
It needs a little TLC, which is perfect because I like buying cars and saving them from the previous owners neglect. It runs and drives very well though, and accelerates quick with the gears haha. I am already in the process of cleaning out the interior and replacing broken/missing shit.
Car specs:
1989 325ic 5 speed
127,000 on working odometer
Race Skids skid plate
Sport interior, heated seats (still work), crack free dash
New Bilsteins and H&R springs, along with a bunch of replaced steering/suspension parts
Powdercoated Style 5's (color to change after winter)
4:10 diff haha
Remus exhaust, not a fan of the huge tips but whatever
On to some photos
Loading the car in the parking lot haha
The next day I had a chance to inspect it better
Then I started tearing it apart to clean all the junk out
After cleaning. The carpet has lots of stains still but is at least clean. Next spring when it is warmer/drier out I will take it out and re-dye it, probably black
And after a couple hours of scrubbing and re-conditioning, the seats were looking a little more proper
And now I am trying to dry the trunk out. I towed it home backwards on the trailer through basically a hurricane, so it took on some water haha
The immediate to do list consists of getting a proper alignment done and sorting out the ghetto aftermarket alarm/auto locks/stereo equipment (or lack of) along with finding the few little interior bits that are missing.
