    Just ordered a bunch of parts from Blunt yesterday.

    Master cylinder
    Slave cylinder
    Braided clutch line
    Timing belt/tensioner
    Water pump/gasket
    Thermostat
    Oil filter
    Fuel filter
    Air filter
    Spark plugs
    FPR
    Rotor/cap

    That should get her running smoothly. I am making a trip to the junk yard today to see if I can score some swag like a window and brake light. Maybe some interior bits.

    '84 325e DD resto/mod

    This will be slow going as I am currently unemployed. How ever I got this car for free today. My girl friend and I intend to use it as a commuter car so we can give the 135i a brake and my 2002 project sits and waits for me to throw more money at it.
    Here is the run down

    The bad:
    Clutch pedal sticks to the floor
    Broken quarter window
    Cracked dash (inerior is bad all around)
    Paints in bad shape (lots of stains, chips, scratches, surface rust)
    After market alarm system (non op, needs to be removed)
    Broken drivers side brake light
    Warn out suspension
    Electric windows do not work
    Its an "e" and has diving boards :ohsnap:

    The good:
    Runs nicely an starts right up!
    It was FREE FREE FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So the plan is just to get it running with oil change, fuel/oil/air filter, and so on. I also need to fix the clutch pedal. Then replace the window, and brake light (pick n pull). Clean the interior up a bit, new stereo system. Next would be a suspension tune up.
    In the long run I'd like to drop it on some coils and get some wheels on it. Thats about it, just keep it a nice clean simple DD car.
