job's to do sort some scabby paint, paint the O/S wing (new replacement fitted) fit a new front wheel bearing, rear suspension arm bush, front fog's.
tonight i changed over the leather seat's, speaker shelf and front grille's + eye brow spoiler's all from my red one also hoovered out all the carpet's, mat's and boot. if the weather hold's out then tomorrow night i'll start on the engine bay, then front wheel bearing and rear suspension arm bush :wink: then hopefully insure and tax it and hit the road's .. while i'm preping the body work 8) for some painting :wink: |

Paul, will it make any difference to it's running? .... would it slow it down a bit if i turn it round need to fix the speedo so i know when i'm at 30mph .. etc it has 10mth's mot so once ive done the wheel bearing and rear bush i'll be using it, the guy wanted £500 for it but i got it for £300 |

treated the nasty paint work to a treat tonight, first i cleaned the crap of the car with a 50/50 mix of T-cut and cheap polish ... does the same job as T-cut but come's off far easier, then i went over it all with tar remover then finaly (for tonight) i gave it a coat of stage 3 McGuire's, i'll do it with 2 & 1 at the weekend looking far better already .. even the rusty patche's look better! also going to fit the chrome arche's from my 2 door for now, i'll prep and paint the rear arche's & O/S wing later
Paul ive changed the ICV round and it's running just the same |

managed to blag the use of a ramp today and checked out the 325 NEED'S: rear spring, front O/S wheel bearing, speedometer sensor plug, as someone has cut it of!, sump is slightly damp, rear O/S driveshaft is slightly damp (outer side), one plate needing welded right bellow the battery (boot) apart from that "it is solid underneath" think that's all .. once ive replaced that stuff i'll start on the body work also fixed the driver's leccy window, replaced both mirror's, fitted some ICE, gutted the dash and window's
i think i might get in to some bother once ive got this car running sweet

so far ive done these jobs to "Project 325i" .. de-chromed the front grille sorted the speedometer sensor
just got the clutch to sort out now?? looking like either the slave cylinder or the servo unit so i'll probably do both then it's on to the body work .. .. repair one rear wheel arch, sort a few scabby areas and prep and paint a front wing Edited by 523 iAN |

this was the last pics i took of my 320 E30 last saturday .. before we parted company
most of the parts ive fitted to the 325 came from the 320, so far ive only spent £48 for a new front wheel bearing asembley |

yip .. i sure was, infact if i'd never bought the 325i .. i'd probably still have the 320i sat at the side of my drive "gleaming" (well realy hideing the rot) the latest E30 has realy taken up a lot of my night time .. ehh .. time |
