First Car, 1987 325is Restoration Pic Heavy

[E30NJ]

Nasty looking.

[E30NJ]

Much better.

[E30NJ]

Little rust here and there but the floorboards weren't rotten and the trunk was decently clean. The fenders however:

[E30NJ]

I'd fix them later but for the time being, they were painted as well. My mom and I painted every faded plastic part on this car.

[E30NJ]

For $10, the black parts were looking like new.

[E30NJ]

Don't worry the marker was taped off.

[E30NJ]

No more eyesore.

[E30NJ]

Paintin'

[E30NJ]

I can't see!

[E30NJ]

Yay!

[E30NJ]

Did a valve cover gasket.

[E30NJ]

Cam lobes and eccentrics seemed to be in pretty good shape considering 246k.

[E30NJ]

Got a new muffler and it passed emissions!

[E30NJ]

Also did a wheel bearing.

Scored a iS front valance with mounting brackets and foglights for $100. WOOOOOHOOOOO ;D
