  • Project something or rather e30

    I have an automatic BMW 325i for sale. It has a 6 disc changer hooked up that you can access in the trunk. The car does need an oil change and does need some work. It is draining the power from the battery. The car needs a new filter boot and there is a leak near the rear left tire. I have more pictures of the car.






    Just picked it up 2 days ago.....

    washed her




    now to find the leak in the gas tank and get her running

    1/20/11
    Decided to do some work today, started it up to find the fuel leak, found out that it was only a hose, so I went ahead and replaced the filter as well.
    started it up it wouldn't idle but would stay on if I stepped on it, first I thought it was bad fuel but then I popped the hood and realized the intake boot had a huge crack on it, this reminded me of my old e30 days, shoved a latex glove in the hole and now idles, I took advantage and started checking a couple of other things, The tranny shifts fine, the 90's alpine stereo works awesome lol, doesn't overheat but will undergo a coolant system overhaul and the oil needs to be changed. Since everything had gone so well I decided (as a joke to myself) to see if the A/C works and it DOES!!! blows cold heater works.......now I kinda feel like I robbed the dude I got the car from.......Now to order a few things ....

                        wheels are 16x7 et 44 +25mm spacer so final et will be 19, so no stretch unless I spend about $480+shipping on tires so it'll be kinda like a track flush stance unless I get move these

                              *****UPDATES****
                              finally got some lows




                              but only .25" of clearance between the ground and oil pan so that was a no no


                              I had planned for this already and was gonna raise the engine even if it required me to roll with out a hood for a while but sadly found this


                              the subframe is broken and now I have to get it replaced..
