Default The Wife's First Ride

Got the wife a 1995 montreal blue 325i with 180k for only $1,000 It's gonna be a great DD. I got it off a friend of mine who also owns a white 4dr m3, and a 1970 GTO. His sister was borrowing the 325i until she was driving drunk, and popped the curb with some fender and side skirt damage. It was his first car, so he wanted to give it to someone more responsible and actually understood the value of the e36, so he contacted me first. I plan to restore it to stock and keep it that way (1 piece headlights are stupid. Especially when one of them has moister trapped).

Has 3 sets of wheels, but will be sitting on a set of steelies till I can find a set of style 5's.

Here are some pictures:

Pros:
Interior is in great condition. No sagging headliner.
Motor is strong, and most of the maintenance has been done on time.
Paint looks great except for the hood and the fender.
I have a set of stock headlights and corner lights awaiting installation.
I was given a set of straight side skirts cover already primed.

Cons:
Paint is fading and chipping on the hood.
Driver side fender has some damage along with the side skirt.
Trunk wont open. (Anyone know how to fix this?)
1 piece headlights.
License plate light is out (the OBC is badass!!!)
Hood struts have given up.

From the e30 M3, evolved the e36.
They were "Keepin it Real" when they introduced the 318ti ClubSport in '95 and the 318ti Sports from '96 to '99.
After that... well nothing else really matters.
