Graveyard Rosie E30 Build n the Works!

[LowlyOwl]

1986 325e. It's a Rattlesnake Motel!. Rust holes everywhere, Cut wires Everywhere, Engine makes a funky noise. Stance is not so much stanced, rims ugly enough to make you puke, Exterior and interior needs Alot! of Work. and Challenge accepted!.

My Vision of where i want (Graveyard Rosie) to sit is in the Works. I'm thinking 16x8 for the Front and 16x10s for the rear, let me know what you think? plans for this German rust bucket is to Kill some oil pans and throw some sparks but at the same time restore the interior and exterior along with a S50 swap that my buddy's selling me, swap should take care my Power concerns for now. She's old and cranky! and is in need of a concrete belly rub. This is a do it myself build with a few Friends Helping out here and there.

Little update on the car, Spent all day pulling wires and damaged Goods. also spent an hour making a list of the things i need. mean while found the problem to her death was a failed fuel pump. the previous owner wired it up himself and shorted out on me while driving... Replaced the Fuel pump and Wired it back up, and now she's up and running "a little weak from her sleep" but shes running on all 6. So! now that She's Running its time to Spoil her with some wheels and a nice coilover set to start her off on the Road to StanceVille first, than next stop is cleanupville than s50 city!. (I'll Start uploading Build Pics Here soon so bare with me..
