StitchedWheels Bronzit 325es

[stitched]

I have finally found the perfect starting point. My plan is to use this car to develop and showcase my seat kits and other upholstery work.

The outside will have to look just as good, so this build won't be limited to the interior.

1986 Bronzit 325es
-108k miles (working ODO)
-Autotragic
-Fresh paint
-Natur leather interior
-Recently refreshed cooling system
-Dealer installed r134 retro

This car has been very well maintained by the PO. He is a BMW tech and loved this car so much that when his wife pulled up to pick him up from our meeting spot, "did he cry?" she asks. Poor guy.

Picked it up about 3 hours away, and drove home with no issues whatsoever.





Parts ready to be installed:
-5 speed swap
-885 head w/ motronic 1.3 (2.7i)

Plans:
-GC coilovers
-e38 style 5's
-Tucked bumpers
-Fresh bumper surrounds
-Shadowline
-Crack-free dash
-Smiley's w/euro grilles



The seats are currently in the works. I am going with all black interior including carpet, headliner and door panels.

More pics and progress very soon.

Nice start. By "I swap"what do you mean? 2.7i or full 2.5

I should have put more details. 2.7i motronic 1.3 just to liven the car up until I can have the motor I really want.

I am just going to keep an extra block in my shop and piece it together over time. IE stroker kit and a head from BimmerHeads is the end goal, but for now the 2.7i will be MUCH better than how it sits now.

A little teaser of the seats.

The side bolsters are attached, but the center is just a piece of material lying there to get an idea of what it will look like. Centers will have the 3 double pleats just like OEM.



I have to post a picture of the 5-speed donor car. It was painted purple with a crazy amount of silver flake.



Trans cleaned up.

Welcome to the bronze family

[Poorboyz]

What fabric is that on the bolsters and center?

That is gonna look clean when you drop it and put the style 5s

Thanks! I have never had an early model, but have been wanting one for a while now.

Finished up my passenger seat today (minus vacuuming up my chalk lines and doing the headrest). It came out really well considering this is my first e30 seat and also my first time running my new sewing machine.



I am almost ready to start offering my seat kits.

Hot!!!!

I think so too :)

I hope so. I am still pretty open on my wheel choices but I really like the e38 5's.

Got my decals in as well.

That seat is wicked! Great work! Seat kits would be pretty sweet

That's some good looking seats. Would look good in my e30. I need to redo my front seats this is something I'd be interested in. Subscribed
