ok so i just picked up an 1987 325e two door from my buddy for 1000. it needs new fuel pumps and a starter. so in total will only run me 1300 for the whole car and to make it running and road worthy. body is in good condition, only one minor rust spot on the rear driver side, just before the fender, under the trim. but we are already in the process of cutting it out and fixing it. dash has cracks out the asshole, but im not worried to much about that at this point. paint is fading bad so it will need new on the paint. that said anyone with any suggestions on a color? the car had be broken into at one point and the rear passenger side window was busted out but has been replaced. the main problem with this is that while it was busted it happened to rain, and the rear seat has some water damage. we currently have it out, to get at the fuel pumps, and it is being steam cleaned. i am hoping this will clean it up a bit. the arm rests on the door panels are now black and i think they look pretty good against the tan interior. also the mirrors have just been painted black and look nice. i am hoping to make this into a sporty driver, trackish car. basicly i want to be able to run a track or auto-x event, but also be able to take it out on the street and still have a somewhat conforable ride.
the so far "wish list":
Quaifle lsd
a short throw shifter
we are already putting on a cold air intake
new exhaust system
front and rear skirts
"clear tail lights"
Hella Quartz Headlights
new rotors (drilled and slotted)
high performance calipers
Stainless Steel Braided Brake Line Kit
Swaybars
want to drop it a bit but no idea on springs or shocks
Performance Chip
and i want to redo anything to do with handeling at all.
this will be a long project but it will be fun. if anyone has any ideas or suggestions on anything, or anyhting else they think i could/should do to the car, than let it be said.
the car is still not running and is sitting in my buddy's garage, so no pics right now but soon.
