Zack you better watch parking that truck between those money pits it might fall in.
nice looking but shitty quality on the newer cars. wheels bend like nothing.
Good one… The '99 Silverado won’t fall in - best vehicle we have. Haha
Got the first problem fixed, driver’s side door now locks. The cylinder is messed up so I have to lock it from the passenger side or trunk, but it works.
So, some upcoming plans…
Fix some rust spots. Fortunately, there is no structural rust that I’ve found. Floors are good, strut towers are good, etc. Unfortunately, there are a few spots that need attention, this being the worst:
After that, I’m going to start saving for an exhaust, and saving for some Style 5’s:
Those are the wheels I was referring to above. That’ll look sweet.
I dont understand why you would want to drive around in that thing…
Why not? It’s comfortable, runs/drives/rides great, starts up every time I want it to, and it was right in my price range - and you don’t see them every day. If I could afford something better, I probably would have bought something better.
Ahh… come on… its not all about the money… you have a thing for these ugly old BMW’s… what was your price range… im sure you could have found something a little less sore on the eye?
Yeah, everybody has to start somewhere. We don’t know how much he spent on it either. For all we know it was between this and a rusted civic. Hopefully it works out for him and he doesn’t have any of the issues that he ran into with the other two cars.
Id take the rusted civic.
Hondas aren’t my thing, never have been. But yeah, it was somewhat about money - If I could afford a brand new Lamborghini Gallardo, I probably would have bought one. But since my budget would not allow, I looked for something that I liked that was in the price range I was looking to spend. Sure, I could have gotten something newer and has no personality, just like every other kid in college - Cavalier, Neon, MK3 Jetta, the list goes on. I found this, I liked it, I bought it.
And it’s so much cooler than all those cars listed too.

IMO.
Cooler than this?
Nope.
lol +1 for zach on that one. unpainted bumpers from the factory ft-L…
No, I was saying your BMW is better than those cars listed.
I know what you meant, I was just dicking around.
The beemer is cool because it’s RWD. Blank canvas so to speak. I think it’d be real cool with a Twin turbo Skyline motor, Supra motor, or even an LSx or 32V Cobra motor in it with a T56 behind either.
Sure it’s not the prettiest car, but it’s different. I like different.
