    '91 325ic or Third time's a charm?

    Picked it up on Sunday. Needs a headgasket/head, still starts and drives, but runs horribly.....touch of milk in the oil. Unfortunately it's an autotragic, but has 91k miles and the rest of the car is SOLID. It's a TX car so it doesn't have a spot of rust anywhere. Paint isn't anywhere near as nice as the picture, needs a respray................but it was cheap.



    I'll get some more pics later.

    These arrived yesterday as well.



    RS001s, thanks Mars_e30!

    Progress will be a bit slow to begin with, but I hope to have it at least running and driveable in the next few weeks.

    So going to do a headgasket/reseal, change fluid in diff/trans, flush brakes....all the usual stuff.

    Future plans:
    - Black interior
    - Coilovers
    - Install rebuilt RSs
    - Manual swap
    - Enjoy! :D

                    Especially once the build is done, these aren't staying stock size. It should be a nice setup!

                    I really wasn't, but ran across this deal and thought it would be a nice change of pace to build a cruiser.

                    It needs a lift and bigger tires, who lowers a 4x4 truck? But it's not mine, so I don't really care.

                    Don't hold your breath, I'm feeling good about this one!

                    I guess I just like the "building" aspect of it as well. Even though I've made money on the last two E30s, I definitely wouldn't consider myself a "car flipper."

                    Impulsive with automotive ADD? Yes.

                              As do you. I'm hoping I can pull off running as low as you on our crappy streets.
