So here's what i started with, an ugly Bronzit
, Auto, 90' 325i. Only good thing about it was the b25. But meh, i needed something to drive to school and back.
But after removal of the carpet about a month after i bought it, of course i find that the entire floor pan was rusted out, aswell as the framerail. This is where i lost all hope and just decided to do away with it.
That's when i picked up this, an 87' 325 Delphin shell with a little rust on the fender rocker and that was about it.
Immediately I got to pulling the b25 from the bronzit, nicknamed "The ThunderWagon" and swapping as much over to the new shell as i could. In the midst of all this, a full Houndstooth sport interior made its way into the garage, aswell as some "cheap mans staggered" 15x7 Euroweaves and 15x7 BBS RZ for that extra lip! I know it sounds stupid but i like the look;D.
Got some 205/50 Yokohama s.drives mounted
Then of course did some test fitting!
Finally the b25 was in but not starting, turns out i had the plug wires backwards...
Tidied up the engine bay a little
Started wiring up my digital voltemeter, Oil pressure, Oil Temp, and Coolant Temp gauges from VDO.
I caved in and got a great deal on these for black friday
