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.
