Hi Guys.
Heres a few pics of my 96 328i manual.
I Purchased it 5 months ago (posted some pics on the forum back then) from a guy who owned a farm in mpumalanga. He has had it from brand new. It has 185000km on the clock now (174000km when purchased). The vehicle came with full manuals and books, 3 sets of keys and a full tool kit in the boot and even the torch (which doesnt work unfortunately). The car does not have a single oil leak and still moves like a bat out of hell!!
The car was in dire need of some loving tlc when i got her, but the essentials (engine, gearbox, diff, etc, etc) were all spot on. The black leather interior was in an excellent condition (no tears/ cracks on seats at all! although the seats were rock hard and lost colour) Put in alot of elbow grease to turn the paintwork from whitey brown (For some reason the paint took on a brownish tinge, dont know whether this was to do with the dust on the farm or what).
Over a period 5 months i have done the following:
Restore the paint back to alpine white 3 with lots and lots of polishing.
Replaced all front balljoints and the control arm bushes
Replaced the front windscreen
Fixed the height adjustment on the drivers seat
Complete service
Upgraded all speakers and head unit
Replaced all four discs and pads (ferodo)
Debaffled air box
Conditioned all seats with turtle wax leather treatment ( This stuff is magic, sometimes i cant believe its the same seats in the car, gone soft and lush and now a deep black colour.
Reconditioned front headlamps and fitted clear indicators
Used turtle wax black trim wax to revive all the beadings.
Various small fixes: lights, securing trims,etc
Fitted 50mm dual system front to back with free flow front muffler and semi free flow rear muffler.
Lowered front suspension.
16'' e46 rims and 4 new pirelli tyres
Still have quite a list of things i would like to do though....
By the way. I paid R35000.....
Heres some pics. Hope you guys like:
