1989 BMW e30 touring restoration
Donation protected
In 2012 i bought a dream car, the bmw e30 325i touring. The car however was in need of a restoration if it was to last. Rust and abuse and neglect by previous owners took their toll.
In december 2012 i started to dissasemble the car. I poured all the spare time and energy and of course money into the car. It was a work of love.
However, dwindling bussiness ment that my income in 2014 dropped rapidly and as it is now i can not afford to finish the car.
All i need is 1500 euros, which does not seem like much, but to me right now it's a huge sum of money.
What is basically left to do on the car are the following things:
- (approx. 150 eur) Installation of the rear glass panels and a new windscreen
- (approx. 200 eur) repaired front seats, repaired interior sky and rear bench
- (approx. 100 eur) new fluids (oil, cooling fluid, brake fluid) and new oil filter + work
- (approx. 400 eur) new tires
- (approx. 300 eur) new brake discs and brake pads
- (approx. 150 eur) some new parts from bmw classic (various clips, new front bmw logo, new 325i lettering, some rubber parts and connectors)
- wheel alignment (35 eur)
- unforseen expenses (100 eur)
---------------
this totals to 1435 eur.
The reward for all donations would be a video of the car (presentation, driving shots, etc..) and a video documenting my journey to the nurburgring in august. Also a lot of professionally made photos in high resolution for everybody to use.
Here are pictures of the photoshoot before the teardown started:

The TLC hasn't dried up, but the money has and it would be such a shame if i'd have to let this beauty sit in the garage for a few years, now that i've come so far.
Please help!
