Hi guys
Ive lost my old account details so reintroducing mysekf
So basically after bieng sat in my unit for the past 5 years my sterling silver 91 325i sport project is back underway!
I managed to buy it around 9 years ago having spent a few years prior to that trying to buy it before it got too neglected and broken for parts by a friend. She was a little rough but mechanically sound and managed to scrape through an mot giving me 12 months driving before deciding to tear her down for light restoration.
So over the course of the next 2 years or so most of the body was taken to bare metal any rust addressed and panels replaced etc she was then repainted in the original sterling silver and rebuilt to probably 75% complete before I kind of lost interest and then purchasing an e46 m3 and an m140i to tinker with the e30 was pushed into the corner and forgotten about
Fast forward to last weekend and she's out of storage and into the workshop with a but of fresh fuel and a battery she fired right up!
Shes now stripped down again hoping to go into paint Monday
hopefully the massive list of parts I ordered doesn't delay the rebuild!
