Picked up this little beater about two weels ago for cheap. Its an 84 318i, m10 5 speed car. Runs great! (Now) body is fairly straight, few small rust spots and a few small dings. Nothing that I cant fix though. Interior is ugly, stained up carpet dash is cracked, has some old worn busted and faded racing seats. Has unknown lowering springs and worn shocks. Going to be a budget build. Thinking matte or satin silver paint. Some nice 15x8" wheels. New shocks, Clean up the interior, unsure if I want to gut or not yet. New seats, and door panels for sure though. Have made a little progress so far.
The day it came home:
My "pick and pull special" exhaust. Found a nice stainless muffler and nearly new glasspack and the local pick n pull, paid $12.99 for this exhaust system. 2 1/4 from the y-pipe all the way back. Sounds great! No rasp through the entire rpm range. And it has a nice deep tone to it.
Ditched the cat, added a glass pack in its place:
Exhaust all done ready to be re-installed:
Removed icv system and fixed a couple vaccume leaks and ran a bottle of seafoam through it. Alot cleaner without the icv cluttering up the intake. Runs 10x better now:
A/c removed: dropped about 50lbs of junk
