Introducing Tina the 1988 325ix.
I found the car through this forum in NW CT and when I went to go see it, I found a lonely car sitting on the edge of the woods. The car wouldn’t start, even with a good battery, so the PO and I pushed it into his driveway to get a better look. The body was in pretty good shape only a few rusty bits but overall great for New England. The PO told me the timing belt broke on him and he had the head replaced and showed me the receipts. I bought the car on the spot without hearing it run and not knowing if the AWD worked at all. I had it shipped up to my house at school and started to work on it there.
I started working on it around September 1st.
This was possibly the dirtiest car I had ever seen. There was a layer of New England sludge all over it so I decided to wash it before really digging in. You can see the difference in the windshield of the grime vs clean.
