    Greetings!

    New to the site although not to BMW and wrenching on cars in general. I finished restoring a '76 TR6 last year that I sold to free-up some garage space. I have the itch for a new project again and have been researching E30 coupes. Still early in the hunt but appreciate all there is to learn here.

    Below is a couple of shots of the TR6 when I finished it.

    And here's a shot of my current DD - 1994 325ic that I've spent the last year fixing-up including refurb of the interior, painted rockers and bumpers, replacement of the entire suspension, vanos rebuild, new cooling, injectors, lighting, etc. Unfortunately it's an auto and a little sluggish given it's a vert, but I chipped it and redid the fuel system to get all I can out of it.

    I'll mostly be lurking in the background until I find the next target. Hoping for something a little more nimble and with a proper gearbox. Great to see how passionate you all are on this platform. Happy Thanksgiving!

        Thanks! A bit sorry I sold it but hopefully the new owner has as much fun as I did with it.

        Yes...late to the game I know but hoping I can find a straight and dry one for less that just needs some TLC. I know parts can add up quickly but it will be a nights and weekends tinkering kind of build.

          Both cars look great.

          Good luck on the search for the E30.
