    89 325i LS Swap (Rust Repair & Respray Underway)

    Well about 2 months ago I picked this 100% stock 89 325i zinno from the original owner. She was a lady in her late 50's I swear she cried when I drove it away. Extremely clean with only a few rust spots on the body (I'm sure there is plenty of hidden rust) It has a service record as thick as the bible and after going through it to my surprise the timing belt and all the other things that come with that were done 5k miles ago. So this is the day after I bought it

    Just a light polish later
    Before

    After


    So then some parts started coming in tr motorsport wheels and bilstein sports with H&R Races

    A buddy and I got bored so we decided to polish the valve cover

    So this is how it sits now next will be a lip and black interior swap
