1987 325i 5 speed four door, delphin gray with tan comfort interior
So, a coworker of a friend was prepared to sell this e30 to the junkyard yielding him no more than $500. It ran with some cooling issues and some driveshaft wobble, but almost everything else was worn past the point of decency. I traded up my busted up 93 civic vx for it straight across, taking a $ loss on my end but getting the cooler car.
I lowered it 2.4" or 60mm front and back with a suspension techniques kit and replaced a tire that seperated on the freeway. I did some bodywork while i was at it and spraybombed it bronze and tan(totally gross).
I decided on going with the fugly a$$ paint and made it even more hideous by adding more color to the hood. While i was at it i found some black leather sport seats for the front, repaired 2 seams and bolted them in.
I had another tire separate and this time learned my lesson, paying for replacement stockers is lame, went to discount and found some cheapo drag wheels and a better size for the tires. I went with 16x8.25 et15 front and rear with 205/50/16 tires... not a bad fit in my opinion(a perfect flush fit in the front with some fender rolling and no mods to the rear)
I just got a black leather rear pass thru seat that was in need of 2 seams repaired as well, gonna put them in tis week with any luck. it was on the way to a trash bin as well.
