Great build so far man, I love seeing people give the old 325e's some loving. Did you paint the intake and valve cover yourself or did you send it out?

The junkyards have served me well once again!
A limited slip diff, 2.93, not great, but better than an open 2.79. It needs some paint and a new bushing before it goes in, so stand by for a week or two and get the update on that posted.
They do need some adjustment, and maybe some HID's. Stay tuned
And the yard also provided me with a new headlight grill, one not broken. Just needed a clean up
Since I had the grill out I figured i might as well upgrade the lights a bit!
Before: Yes I know its covered in bugs
Broken headlight
Broken grill
Out with the old
In with the new
And a big thanks to ST1G for some clean Smilies!

Also, kind of long shot, but what happened to that pass side fender? I could use one with good paint. Im really far so its probably not a smart $$$ decisionSimon

The smilies look good! If I find any adjusters I'll snag them for you.

The fender got scrapped, it was rusty on the bottom and inner wheel side so you wouldn't really want it

YES
Before
After
I've decided not to put in the dead pedal yet. Reason behind that is the cover is flat, but the foot rest is curved in the back, and I don't really want there to be a gap. Also I want black carpets.
Took a trip to see my buddy gome123 and he hooked me up! I was telling him about my exhaust being rusted everywhere and he had this guy sitting in his garbage can about to go away forever, so I figured what the hell!
Took the old guy out. A lot worse than i thought it was. Also explains the rattle every time i shut off the car.
Here's a video of the muffler's
LSD! the old one was quite and this is the only picture i have. But the new one works great.
