87 325e/91 325ic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Mr. Tasty]

So last night, hit up a weekly car show. I don't have any pictures but it was a blast. Saw some awesome cars, and also donks. Reguardless, I had a great time.

Continued and went canyon driving later. Tortilla flats, which is a 40 mile round trip of intense technical corners. Spirited driving is a must.



Took some garage pictures of my dirty car. I apologize. I will get better pics later in the week.













This is also my dd height, I have about 2 inches of downward adjustability, which is pretty much pointless, but i love having the 4 inch springs in front.

Love your car man! love the stance I need to get my car low like that.

So I heard you want to twincharge?

[EREKSHUN]

loving the sedan. Sub'D!

[Mr. Tasty]

I have some euro bits that I added. Early license plate filler and euro grills. I will need to get some pictures. Other than that, just driving it to school/ work everyday.

[AwakenNoMore]

Project is coming along nicely!

[ikonwun]

up dates please!!!!

[Mr. Tasty]

decided I wanted to retire the gotti's for a bit from road use. Picked up some creamy saladshooters. Tire sizes are smaller than I wanted, but here it goes.

Okay, I am going to recap what hasn't been documented in this thread.

Everything that I have gotten in this thread was because the deals were too good to pass up.
Last December, I picked up a 1991 325ic for $400. It ran, but needed a ton of work, mostly cosmetically.
The previous owner was a Russian redneck. Dude was very odd.


This is how many fuses were either wrong amperage or in the wrong place.

I also scored on a set of Southern Way Epsilons in 16x8.5 and 16x9.5 Porsche Fitment.

Picked up a set of GC coilover conversion.




Much in need of adjustment.

Interior condition


test fit the Gotti's just for Shits and giggles.

painted the Valve cover after timing belt/water pump replacement.

Caliper rebuild with new seals. You wouldn't imagine the kind of slime that comes out of 25 year old calipers.

All buttoned up

[Mr. Tasty]

The driver's side door was backed into, so I opted to replace it

The damage was too extensive to pull out.

Door and dash cover, scored.


Meanwhile, polishing the Epsilon lips.

Tires!

Mocked



Cluster ODO rebuild + Alpina Sticker and Painted Needles. I also got chrome rings.









Fitment is
16x8.5 Front, 205/45
16x9.5 Rear, 225/45
It is really aggressive, the front is a little pokey.

Friend gave me a coupe bootlid for free.

Scored a prestine set of black leather convertible seats. I got them through bartering my wheel polishing skillz.

[Mr. Tasty]

Same guy that traded the interior, also shared the love and hooked me up with some ellipsoids for the zinno 325e. There was some damage from hot bulbs, so I replaced some items and voila.



Yes, the drivers side high beam is flipped. It is technically a passenger side flipped so the highbeam light is not angled correctly. I have no need for high beams right now anyways.

Then, coming back from family in Lake Havasu after July 4th, disaster.

Smashed my skid plate INTO my oil pan on a rock that came out of no where.
So that was a fun ordeal of towing my car 200 miles back home. Luckily I had AAA, thanks Mom!


Scored these from a buddy.

Cleaning them up



Ordered all new corners, turn signals, and rear bumper strip.



At this point until present, I put the epsilons on the daily 325e, as the convertible is in storage until I get motivated to work on it again.

Cleaning/Rejuvenating the Seats.







For shift knobs, I have always been a cheap ass. Literally just some wooden rod I found, drilled, sanded and stained. Works great for the heat, and it is a pressure fit on the shifter shaft.



OH HERRO,
Complete 5 speed swap with all items for $325. Currently the convertible is in the process of getting swapped over.
Just degreasing the getrag 260.

[Mr. Tasty]

I think that should bring the projects up to date. I am terrible at documenting my projects with pictures haha.

[BenjaminButtton]

I love the Epsilon's! Vert looks like fun too, plans for paint at some point?
