    Project ZinnoBeater...

    --This Car is Now For Sale--
    So I picked up another E30, and surprise, surprise, its red. So I introduce the new project, a Zinnoberrot '89 325is.

    Here's some pics of the project as she sat today...








    As you can see, she is very much worse for wear, but mechanically she runs perfect, albiet with an autotragic. She is all up todate on such things as timing-belt and other such services to boot.

    Plans for now are pretty much geared toward using her as a winter beater for the little woman. Come drier, warmer weather I'll make the decision to bring it back the shine it enjoyed in its previous life, or to gut it, install a third pedal, and turn it into a track toy. I guess I have some time to decide...

    For now though, I'll be busy fixing some things here and there, and replacing or repairing the obvious sheetmetal deficiencies. Updates to follow...

          Congrats dude!

          I'm assuming he found it through other means. Possibly friend of a Friend. Great deal. Great find.

                        Thanks guys, I've known this car for a while. It was my dad's who pampered it for the time that he had it. It was then given to my then 16-year old sister who did everything but pamper it.

                        After two wrecks, and a tornado being let loose on the interior, it sat for more than a while before I finally convinced here to let it go.

                        It looks like hell, and runs kinda like a dog (cracked intake boot, making her run really rich) but nothing that a couple of weekends of elbow grease can't take care of.

                        Oh, and yes the DS front fender is Brillantrot, I'm looking for a Driver's side Zinno fender and door. The Passenger-Side rear wheel arch is rippled so I'll be doing some hammer n' dolly work on that too.

                              Right on, yeah I recognized that apartment building. Make sure you park your m3 in a garage if you got one. My neighbor's Prius got broken into in the middle of the day last sunday. Nice snag, btw.
