So my name is Austin and I’m from Tennessee. I own an E36 328i/4 and I just bought a 1987 325iS/5 that is Hellrot-ish (sanded / prepped to paint). I am planning to fix the things it needs fixed and then turn it in to a beautiful SpecE30! But I need suggestions as to what to do first since I’m going to draw it out a bit until my income picks up. Here is my to-do list:
-Fix clutch (bled or new master/slave cylinder)
-Add rear shock mounts
-Fix idle problem (ICV perhaps)
-SpecE30
-Paint
The fourth is the one on which I want suggestions. I was thinking a good first-mod would be a short shift kit or would that be too rice-y? Here are some pictures!
The interior is pretty much mint but I will take good care of it while it’s out of the car
