The too expensive 325IX build

[rmosca594]

Recently got an 88 325IX Zennoberot 5spd coupe, 1 owner car from NJ

I got kind of jipped on the deal because I found rust soon after getting the car the PO "didnt know about" all hidden by under coat and the body kit and he would not reneg on the deal.. But whatever the car is mine and I plan to make one hell of a of a drivers car!

First things first, getting the car cleaned up and the rust fixed....

Both front corners were rotted through and some of the driver side rocker panel, few small holes on driver side floor, some nasty holes in passenger side floor and then some nasty rotting in the trunk, but other wise clean car with a great interior

The car currently has 223k miles with a working ODO :)

So here are pictures up to speed, got the driver side floor fixed, hopefully tomorrow I can start cutting away the rust in the floors

You can do a 24v swap on an ix you just need to modify the oil pan, go boosterless, and have a few fittings welded together. Also in the ix section there is a massive amount of info on 24v ix swaps.
