Awesome! Your interior makes me want to tear my seats out and redo the carpet. Although mine came with quite a few wear-holes so I'd probably need to buy new. And new floor mats. I get the feeling it's pretty expensive though. -
Well fellow r3vs, I am happy to say that I have decided to keep the e30. I spoke with a few friends and fellow forum member, Cory, and realized that my best option is to keep the e30 and enjoy it. I may reevaluate in a year or so, but for now I am just excited to be driving and enjoying it. It really is too nice to be selling and I will not get what it's worth if I sell it right now anyways.
I am going to get back on the horse and tackle a few things before summer is here, including:
-valve adjustment
-z3 ssk
-driveshaft
-rear diff service
-heat shielding
-fuel lines and hose
Tonight I vacuumed the cockpit, buttoned up the trunk, added the spare and jack and took it to the coin op for a rinse. I also "installed" my new sound system ............(Bluetooth Jam XT... lol),
I am feeling very good about the car!
Sitting pretty at work today. Took some friends out for lunch and they were digging it.
Tremendous bass =|

'90 325i Project Log… continued
4-5k includes some body work and new paint job (I detail on the side so imperfect paint drives me crazy, even though the paint on this car is in excellent overall condition), some new heat shielding (just because), a new cat back (just because), SSK, trans output seal install, potentially new driveshaft (just because), thats about it.
As it sits, this car will run for many years to come without incident and not requiring anything beyond usual maintenance. It NEEDS nothing besides the new output shaft seal if you are anal like me and hate leaks.
And yes, the water leak is all sorted! It can sit through a torrential downpour and I am confident that no water would make it into the trunk or cabin. I would not have installed the interior and carpet if I thought otherwise.Leave a comment:

What factors into that $4-5K list of needs?
BTW, is that leak finally sorted? I saw that you plugged all the holes to keep the water from moving forward in the cabin.
Great car! I saw it in person and was very impressed.Leave a comment:

What I should have said is "no time for a project car" not "a 2nd project car." This is my only project and time/money is going to keep me from getting the car up to my level of standard. I'm about $4-5k short of that and I just can't justify that money right now :(Leave a comment:

Just don't have the time for a 2nd / project vehicle right now. It sucks for sure but such is life! I love the car and I love e30's. It is a blast for sure!Leave a comment:

It was a long night but the interior install was a success. I was up until 2am getting the car ready for this morning's cars and coffee with my buddy Dylan and his new truck.
My fingers are still sore, so I will let the pics do the talking for today....
It begins
