in 2009, to pass the time I decided to buy a car just for fun. My boss give me around $ 2000 for rent and I start looking for what I can buy with that money. To put it mildly, prices in Russia for cars not very low. For that money you could buy an old Japanese left-handed, but in more or less good condition, Russcar .... :D

, Or strong-seedy Germans, are imported here in the early 90's in a fairly high quantities. And quite by accident, I decided to see a BMW which is 80 years of production ... It was posible to move, but not very well and stopped only by handbrake ... :), But it looked! Despite the fact that there were quite a lot of rust and sticked with shit band (a-la NSFUndegraund). Body style captivated me - I fell in love :). Since then began to search for the E30 only and through couple days I bought this!

It was possible to move and slowed down as expected, though the wheel had to be pumped every day ... :) I don't know Why not keep pressure that ...
In general, since this I had been driving as I bought, btcouse not advisable to west mony for a car, without having myown homes. Just enjoy the possession of the car, despite the shabby appearance, it got speed very good!
But after a year I got married, bought a flat and decided that it was time to fix my cars. Relatives, including my wife, tried to reason with me, but I still it took up.
So in July of last year I started to disassemble it all, to put in order the body, do overhaul the engine, suspensions, transmition etc., trying to bring to life the electrics, and why it made me want to alter interior in leather ...
Enjoy the photos ... :)

Well done 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

There is a stores that carry parts from Germany, Taiwan etc. if it manufactured yet. But usualy price is high. Some parts can be fined in auto-disassembling. And e-bay, but I never use e-bay.
