Just had the 325 cleaned so thought I'd put some pictures up.

I've been doing a lot of miles in it over christmas so it didnt seem worth cleaning it inbetween.

I was quite proud of how dirty it got, in an odd way.

After a bit of soap and some freeeezing hands, here are the results.

I've only had it a month or so, and having read a few comments on here am pretty convinced I'm about to be called council quite a lot.

(you should see my other one! I dont dare put any pictures up of that one until its had some epic de-chavving done to it)

So I'll explain now that my plans are to get rid of those horrendous wheels and get it on some decent suspension as whatever the hell is in it now is frankly quite terrifying to drive! I'm looking at the traditional 60/40 drop, shocks and springs. Then I have a somewhat controversial choice of wheels to go on it, but I'll let you guess on that front until I do it.

Its rust free in all the usual places (has had footwells welded) and the paint is very nice, and the colour is quite rare I am led to believe? (lagunegrun)

Oh and here's the engine.

Note the amazingly badly polished rocker and inlet, and the strut brace made of tin foil! (both of these things will be sorted too)

Be nice. 8O

yeah its a bit of a project. Lots of little bits and bobs to fix/change.

The main thing is it has a very solid shell, everything else can be fixed :wink:

Welcome to the zone bud!
Looks to be a straight e30 and it's always a bonus to have a rust free one!

cheers.

He's right, the front bumper is diamantscwartz.

I kind of like it, its a nice contrast against the green.

I'mm toying with the idea of matching the back one to it but not sure.
