    Default New Summertime Daily

    Had a wild hair and decided to jump on something fun to drive this summer, since i'll be living in a much sunnier state (TX) very soon.

    1991 325ic

    So far:

    New Radiator/hoses
    New Battery
    Refurbished wheels
    New tires
    Brand new HPS pads
    New rear shock mounts
    rebuilt/machined head (vavles adjusted like 40 miles ago)
    brand new OEM *stock* exhaust
    New control arm bushings

    On the way:
    All 4 new window regulators/motors (the current regulators are shot)
    Top seals
    New *black top (current top has seen better days....like 12 yrs ago)
    Rota RB 15x8's
    possibly new Paint if i can manage the funds

    hoping to make it a nice and fun daily car for this summer.

    Onto the pictures taken with a horrible camera:

    Picking it up

    just 15x8's 15et coming. i'll honestly probably keep the ride height/suspension stock. I can literally fly over speed bumps and not feel a thing, its a nice change compared to my other cars

    The body is perfectly straight, but the paint is pretty faded. I plan on taking a buffer and shit ton of polishing compound and trying to get something back out of it. The top needs to be replaced and the window regulators are shot (which i have on the way) so it does need work, but mechanically it runs like new. ALL the electronics (save for the regulators) work

    I really like the slammed look, but its gonna be a DD as well...so it will be somewhere in between.

    I hope you didn't spend too much on the Rotas...I know of a set of wheels that are relatively cheap that would suit your ride a whole lot better...PM me and I'll show you the way.

    i traded them for a set of Miata wheels with Azenis. So monetarily they cost me nothing. Though the Rota's will most likely find their home on the paseo once the e30 finds a better alternative.
