New member with 1986 325e

Hey everyone i found this website over bimmerfest.com and thought id join, so far ive liked it alot as theres alot of info on here to help with.
last year i purchased an 86 325e with the 2.7 inline 6 motor. its a 5spd and all stock except for catback and intake. im in the process of finishing off a front strut bar im making in class and its turning out nice. soon i hope to get a second "beater" car so i can start what ive wanted to do with this car for a while. my plans so far are suspension, brakes, weight reduction, 325is bumper swaps, wider tires, and complete engine rebuild.
motor runs fine but just hit 321xxxkm. if anyone has some pointers on building the car if its suspension weight or motor wise give me a shout id love to hear what uve got to say!

Hey Ryan, welcome to the site buddy.

You are making your strut brace ? I would love to see what you come up with there.

I think you should scrap the beater car plan, and put your money in to the bimmer. It is hungry, and wants all of your money.
