Is that rear drum brakes on a 325??? If it has got rear drums it may be a 320. if it is then brake it for spares !!
welcome, hope the project goes well

it was a 318i then had an engine conversion.

everything about it is shoddy, but all the pieces are there to be fixed

Your Sh*t fibreglass kit isn't falling off, the wing is!!

It needs plenty of tidying, that's for sure...

If it's a 318 with an engine transplant, you'd be as well completing the job and fitting rear disks and 325 suspension....

welcome mate and good luck with that it looks like bit of a mission

pretty much everything is falling off.

the wing is easy enough.

fiberglass bumpers are only good for track cars

get standard bumpers back on with and is lip or if your willing o spendthe cash pay out for a gen sencond hand kit
proper plastic and it fits right.

325 susspension is a must as well and brakes

i have a 325 touring breaking for spares u could get all the brakes and stuff off that

located in edinburgh

welcome to the zone mate, what i would do is for starters is rip all the nasty fibreglass kit off then buy an m-tech2 kit for it, then fit rear disc setup
