New car! Non mopar. (new pics mar 31st, drift event!)

[FLG]

Well,

Chargers all getting restored and im left needing some fun  

So went over to this guys house tonight, gave him cash and got the car for a steal! (1987 325is which was mislabeled as LS probably helped keep the auction un-noticed)

Ill post of pics when i get it over the weekend...should be a fun toy, spent just about all of its life in AZ and seems to than went to VA for a bit until finally resting in VA for the past 6 years until it was sold.

Great car (and price)! Ive got some friends that have a lot of spare parts, let me know if you're looking for anything and Ill pass it along.

Good for you Frank! Cops love red.

  I have a decent 86 in the salvage yard if you need any parts ,  sold all the seats and carpet to one guy  but still have alot of good parts on it   ,  Had a bad motor and trans .  Guy got stuck in the snow and blew them both up .

No drive to connecticut last weekend?

From the grave...if anyone is wondering (probably not  )

This is when i got her




Some work (stoptech sloted rotors, hawk pads, full coilover suspension, new poly bushings, wheel bearings, sway bars)






And its current state (id much rather have the charger be in there, but shes getting a well deserved resto)






Car is a TON of fun, handles like a go kart...will do some auto-x this year 

[projectanimal]

Great find!  I had the 96' 328 5 spd and loved that thing!   Auto-x is great and you should be able to throw that around nicely through the cones.  I have an 87' Porsche 951 which I plan to hit some auto-x's next Spring!

That looks great! Love the German flag stripe. Any more pictures and/or videos??

[FLG]

Thanks guys!

Will try to get some this week, only other pic i have

[greenpigs]

You definitely lost some Charger guy points with the purchase of that...just saying.

[bull]

Oh, I thought it was this one...

[FLG]

LMAO

Link is clearly no longer working 

[Tilar]

Oh, I thought it was this one...

There was always something about those old Isettas that I liked... I'm just not sure what though. 

[FLG]

Another update for you guys (btw yes the charger is still getting the attention it needs!)

Sheesh Frank.  Looks like something out of a modern day Fast and Furious shop.   

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

With the sparks flying like that it looks like an episode of COPS!

Looks good, I've been looking for an eta to use as a winter beater. I like the 944 in the pics.

[FLG]

Thanks guys....got a little surprise coming in 2 weeks...you'll see 


Bordon its a 951 

[bordin34]

Even better, I hope to upgrade to an S2 or 951 some day. Currently I'm "stuck" driving an 86 944 N/A with Konis, sport suspension optioned with bigger factory sways, and 4 piston brembos and rotors off an '88 951.

Ive driven N/A's 944's, there fun regardless...much less issues to deal with. But regardless they all have there quirks...did your hatch glass separate from its frame yet? 

[bordin34]

Haha not yet I am sure its going to happen though. I'm slowly setting my car up for autocross. I have coilovers to put in the front and will be getting some soon for the rear. I also bought a 1985.5 944 parts car.
