Default Hello

just thought I'd introduce myself and say hello. I recently purchased a 95 that I will be doing some work on. It's in need of some attention but it was a really good deal. I have had several BMW's in the past (E28, E30, E46, and 2002's) I'm most passionate about the 2002's having owned several over the years. I currently have a 75 Polaris that is my daily driver and hoping to get the 318ti reliable to use as my daily as well. I don't have pictures of my 318 just yet but thought I'd post one of my 02. I will take some pictures of the 318 and post them soon.
I'm looking forward to joining your community and hopefully contributing to it as i learn and work on projects.

I can't seem to stay away from them. They are bare bone fun cars. I'm getting familiar with the ti. Spent the day cleaning it up and detailing it.

Default some pictures

I spent most of the day yesterday cleaning the 318, found stuff under the seats that could not be identified (pretty sure it was old nacho's and a brownie.. i hope), so the seats came out and everything was cleaned... deep cleaned. I still need to detail the paint and then start working on the things that need attention.
  • headliner is not sagging.. just completely ripped out. I searched and found the thread about replacing the headliner and will tackle that soon.
  • door panels are also missing but I do have the passenger side that will be installed once i repair the window regulator. I was able to repair the drivers side but now searching for a panel.
  • front bumper trim is missing so that is now on order along with new roundels.
  • drivers side mirror will need to be replaced since a part of the plastic is missing
  • some other lil bits and pieces will need to be replaced but so far i'm happy with the project.

Oh, already replaced the 15's with some 10 spoke Motorsport wheels. I'll have to work on that stance a bit

Here's some cell phone pics:
