      Got the shifter in too


      I couldn't get the drive line in and ended up chewing off the rubber with too much force but oh well it'll sit there til I find a way to put it on, I'm too tired to deal with it right now


      I got the master just fitted to get an Idea of how it all goes THANK LAWD JEZUZ the hardware was there otherwise I would of been lost


      I got cracks on my dash but so what I see it as battle scars and this e30 is boss

        Huh.

        Regardless have fun with the project! That is a lot of rust you have there in the rear quarter panel. I hope it all comes together for you; burgundy rot is one of my favorite colors on early model cars

          Yea it is but it's just there, there's no rust in the inside and I got a 900$ estimate on a full body paint job all dings and rust fixed. It pays off knowing the right people lol

          I have had moments where I'm just like F this car imma go buy another one but it's my first car I just can't let it go lol

            So I built the car back up to the best of my knowledge but I can't drive stick so it turns off on me :( I'll learn tho

            Had to open the hood cuz the engine was like 3/4 hot idk if that's normal someone tell me please


            I got a tail light from a junk yard for 10$


            Someone please tell me what to do to fix that light in the middle (the orange one)


            Inspection is not all the way but it still needs a tune up and idk what the brake lining means


            My shifter is very loose but idc and the power steering sucks ass


            I'll have to figure out how to fix this too


            Total budget so far on this car is 820$ (car included)

                      So I got it running but it needs both rear wheel bearings and I just don't know how to put that on so I put the car up on Craigslist for 1k, it just sits in front of my house now lol




                      I picked up this rare golden well maintained 328i E46 and I call it rare because I've never seen golden E46's other than that ugly shitty yellow M3's, anyways I got it for 6k at 151,000 miles which isn't anything for a BMW. The interior is super clean, I love everything about it except the rims but imma pick up some STR BBS LM replicas soon
