Hi guys,
Wanted to post on here and introduce myself. This past saturday, I picked up a fun side project - a Laguna Green 1991 e30 318i convertible. My eventual goal will be to make this a nice weekend driver while keeping it OEM/OEM+. The car has around 185k(odo broken), interior is in great shape, top is decent, exterior needs TLC(clearcoat peeling/hazy, trim pieces missing, lower bumper valance jacked up, bumpers scuffed, slight wheel well rust, etc). But, engine and transmission feel good and it drives rather well. The suspension is shot too, h&r+bilstein sports are in the future. I just ordered the odometer gear set from garagistic so will fix that first. After that it's time to dive in!
About me - I have past experience with older Audis and had an e39 m5 for a while but sold it last year(too fast). This is my first experience with an e30. Over the next 6 months, I'll be slowly bringing the car back to its former glory. I've been reading up on the m42 and heard great things about it - from my drive home, it felt fun and light and happy to rev. The whole car feels great and I am excited about this project. Anyway, I'm located in NE DC near Union Station and excited to join this forum/community!
