[Iloveboost]

i give the car 7.5/10 for overall condition despite the year !
don't be fooled by the apperance.. it look clean , real clean but underneath ... i will show you later.

I have replace all the shifter bushing ( was very thorn) and i put an Z3 1.9 shifter.
replace the selector rod by a DSSR too
while i was there , i have also replace CSB

i bought spare key on the interweb and make a double ( i only have one )









the steering showed little imperfection , wear and tare. i remove it, sand it with very fine sandpaper et Dye it black
(the picture show the result after Dye)



I remove the cluster to install ring bezels and put the white needle in red
the bezel i receive was sliver , so i paint it satin black .i also paint the background cluster to match the ring cluster.







this is it for today .
i am in the process of floor repair . i will update later !

i would like to have any comment, positive, negative, constructive, tips , anything that could help me or just to talk about.thanks!

Hi everyone!

Let me introduce myself . I'm mat , from quebec canada. So i am french. My english is very good when it's time to reading , but for writing.. that another story..
Anyway , i will do my best to share with you my build and my passion !

THE CAR :
1990 bmw 325 IS coupe.
car have 274000 KM and run solid ! Engine still pull hard to the limiter with no major issue.
it have been full resprayed last year with oem color.

I bought the car about 2 month ago. I have inspect it a lot before buy it and everything look good to me, so i bough it !

i have done some work on it without taking picture .( at the time i didnt know i will go big time with the project) like:
-coilspring drop
-mega inside cleanup
-replace the center support bearing
-die the interior in black( rear speaker deck, roof lining, c-pillar, floor carpet and 4 door card ( interior was 2 tone , Tan and Black )

while removing the floor carpet, i further look the floor for rust and hole ... unfortunately, i have found many little hole and 2 major.

THE PROJECT:
it will not be a show car, nor a race car. i want it clean and subtle.
i will repair any rust hole on the floor and anywhere i find rust i will remove it ( the body is 100% rust free since last respray)
complete suspention overhaul
lot of undercar coponent overhaul ( replace or repaint)
another respray ,changing the color for one i love ( i have been car painter for almost 10 year , paint is no big deal for me !! )
replace wheel and tire
engine swap, ( not this year )

ok now , i will take lots of picture and post it here as long as i work on the car.

here is the car when i bought it
