5ickride's 1991 318ic Build Thread

[5ickride]

Wanted to start one thread alone to document the progress of my recent addition/replacement to the stable.

Basic specs: 1991 Schwarz 318ic 5 speed 106k

I drove her up from D.C. with no problem except the blown tire (pics later) I suffered 10miles from home.

I've decided to sell my other E30 coupe and will post a thread once I finish up on a few things I need to do. :)

Here's the only teaser pic i have for now.

Haha, i know man...im sure im gonna miss her but the wifey is on board with the vert and thats basically a license to steal! The coupe will make her presence felt at Gutenfest.

Can't wait to finish my other projects and get a vert build going.
Body looks pretty clean! That m42 I bet has tons of life left just needs a pressure washing.
Thanks for posting those p/n I was just looking for one.
