    Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. Wife and I picked up an 1988 325i convertible. We live in downtown Miami, right about where the MacArthur Causeway meets I-95/Club Space/American Airlines Arena.

    Anyway, the car is in pretty rough shape, but we got it for $1k and the engine was rebuilt a couple years ago. Top is in good condition and its a stick. I previously have had a 1991 325 iC, a 1991 e31 (v12/6 spd), and 1999 e39 touring, so not a complete n00b, but pretty close to it.

    Done so far: front brake pads/rotors, FR bearing, alternator, headlight stalk, rear tires, replace missing muffler hangers. To be done ASAP: rear brake pads/rotors, rear view mirror mount, fuel pump, muffler repair, glove box latch, fuse box repair. Short range outlook (parts needed): rear seat, shocks and springs all around, front seat seat recovering/repair/replacment.

      I have rear black leather seats for vert. 9 out of 10 condition. No rips no tears. Top and bottom seat only. I also have some custom fiberglass black rear speaker enclosures. These inclosures allow deeper magnets for aftermarket 5.25 speakers. Must see to appreciate. Anyone interested hit me with a text. We can talk price when you see them. I paid $100 each to have them made.
      How much for the seats. I'm located in Tampa.
      You can pm if you want.
      Also looking for good OBC.

                  I've been in that area (downtown Miami/Design District/Wynwood) the past few weekends in my E30, haven't seen anyone out there.

                  May be down in Wynwood this weekend with a couple other E30 owners.

                    My car is not nice enough to be taken out. All in good time. Enjoying the documentation of your car. Where did you get your suspension work done? And, if I can ask, what did the labor set you back?

                      @trashycamaro, we all started out with "not nice" cars. Roll the car out. There are lots of guys on here who will see it and point you in the right direction. Cheers.

                            I've been out of town, and will be until sometime in October. Can't wait to get back home and go for a drive.
