DirtE30 - 1990 BMW 325i

[Senor_Taylor]

"New" shocks are on all the way around, IS springs are on all four corners. It feels stiffer for sure. Replaced a gasket I was missing on my rear shock and added the spring pad I forgot on the other side. Even got my speedometer working. Took the clamp off the leaking power steering line and added a hose clamp and I think it's slowed my drip to a trickle. The steering feels pretty heavy, but maybe that's me being used to the over boosted 4Runner. I also painted my calipers orange and did a lug stud conversion and replaced the guibo. #YOLO

As the car sits, it's obvious it needs to be lower, but at least now it doesn't do a stoppy when I get hard on the brakes.

Need to bleed the brakes one more time after replacing that hard line and she'll be ready for the refrigerator bowl. Then she's off to Deren at Mach V for an inspection and to begin a list of parts to throw at it. Starting with brake lines. I would have done them already, but I dread trying to get to the lines above the rear subframe.

Really cool to see how far this car has come, and how far it will go! The only thing I fear is something catastrophic failing on me. So far, I'm just fixing things that needed to be fixed when I broke it, but as soon as I break something, that's when I'll lose steam. This car is 100% funded by poor financial decisions and cheap used parts and take-offs. So please send anything my way you see that's a good price and I can use. The list is long and extensive for what I need.
