Always interesting to see what hackjobs have been wrought up stock E30 radio wiring.

A little update:

I pulled the valve cover off to see if perhaps the timing belt snapped and was the reason they stored it, but all looks good and pleasantly surprised to see a new looking gasket on there as well. Behind the radio was not as pleasant, a nest of wires Ill have to go through. I also found a chilton manual with a bunch of pages saved and a few papers explaining work done.

This week I am finishing up finals so I won't be able to get much done, but this Saturday I'll be going back home and picking up a ton of spare parts I have to start putting in some work.

Long story short I haven't owned an e30 for about two years after being rear ended in my Euro bumpered 325 coupe, but I have been hoarding parts for awhile and had plans to get another e30. So one Friday morning, anticipating a long boring summer ahead of me, I was looking through offerup of all things and found this nice little gem. Contacted the seller, met up with him the next day and brought the car home.

Progess may be a little slow on this due to lack of tools, but I'll be using this thread to update as I go along. I know r3v likes pictures so here's some from the first day I picked her up.
