    as some of you know, last wednesday i got my 91 325i with sports package. its been a week and a day, and heres what me and my fiance (jw 325ic) have done so far.

    day we got it: found out it has rebuilt engine, bent front valence, rear valence, needed emblems, various interior parts, lip etc









    second day:
    painted the side markers black, replaced interior light bulbs, cleaned it up a bit, removed the front shattered fogs, red tails, resprayed the rear iS spoiler, took off front plate, and added alpine head unit


    third day:
    went to junkyard; got b pillar trim, dash facia, rear console, front ashtray housing and ashtray, drivers side grill, engine bay intake panel, and new dome light all for $30


    old one(new ones perfect)




    fourth day:
    painted the fresh air vents to bring them back to life, fixed front valence





    fifth day: got front iS lip, new emblems (actually still waiting for rear but put a decent hood one on trunk temporarily), fog blanks, and painted brake ducts black, put rear license plate frame on, smoked turns and euroised em(only on with turn signals, no parking lights) at its current state.











    i know the pics arent the best, they were all taken with my chocolate. digi's usb isnt reading for some reason...still getting springs and rear plate filler. proper photoshoot to come when its not so damn cold out.

          I might do a plate filler, but I haven't decided.--That would give it some contrast. I like the way it looks on my hubby's car, but I dunno...

                    Very nice progress!

                    Just FYI...if your rear license frame covers the part that says 'TEXAS', you can get ticketed.

                      :DYeah the hubby is pretty proud of me. I've come a long way in my E30 knowledge!!! I used to get so frustrated that he'd be outside working on his car instead of spending time with me inside... That was, of course, until I got my E30...

                          both cars? heh the verts looked like that for about a year now. ive just been doing maintenance and tune ups to it since last january except for painting my iS rear spoiler white on it. but everything in this thread has to do with the 91 325i "s". we bought it last wednesday and basically transformed it into a clean ass car. IMO its just missing springs and a rear plate filler. basketweaves look much better than a lot of the wheels ive seen, but if a good deal comes around on some nice deep dish...i wanna go for it.

                          but yea, the coupe is her car, the vert is mine. she went from a kia (when we first got together), to an e28 88 535i til it got hit by some woman on a cell phone. then we got her this and she loves it. drives it like she doesnt want the wind to touch it.

                            That car cleaned up nicely. I need to get some IS front lips for a couple of my cars. Cant believe what a difference that makes.
