Hello all this is my first post other than in the for sale sections, My name is Perry Wilson, Im 23 years old and I have been a metal sculptor and bike builder since I was 15. Grew up around circle track racing and road racing(e46 m3, and e46 M3 M52 turbo GT3 cars) my whole life, and this is my first BMW build, and even car build from the ground up that Ive ever done... but its gonna be big. Just Had a baby girl so the build is going slow, but sure
Project list:
S50 5 speed swap (have it)
BC racing full coilover (done)
ps delete (condor speedshop)
shaved bay (ready for duraglas)

Bought this 88k mile 325is In clearwater end of august. Rust free (exceot floor pan on driver side), garage kept, non smoler, crack free dash. Car had the ugly honda spec +35et 17x7.5 wheels on it when I bought it. they are now my paint wheels... It has a 3.73 LSD and was destined to be my new track car. Now for pics and progress.
Great starter car
First Night She Got Home
Stripped
The harness is now completely pulled and stripped of everything that isnt racecar and brake and headlights. 116lbs of tar and sound deadning was removed
gutted doors, and quick release doors
Gas tank and engine/trans were removed so the fun could begin(doing this on the ground solo is a pita)
Haloween break, my pumpkin
shaving and boxing the bay
as it sits, ready for duraglas (boxed in behind the strut towers too)
Slick Top
ABS relocate and lowered the column 2 inches
Bought these
fixed the floor pan, cut out the spare tire well and tack in the cover for now
well more to come :)
