[QUOTE="Raja_Mongkut, post: 626268, member: 7413"] Haha thanks M! That's a great lil piece o' info there! Anyway, some updates on my search for the classic bimmer. Been searching high and low for a E28 fitting my miserly price bracket, travelling to Kajang, Klang and even Seremban! Found a pristine one, but was snapped up by some other lucky bugger coz i didn't offer a price first. Test drove a RM2,500 one worthy of the junkers and barely escaped with my life. Even got a workout helping an American expat push and jump start his deflated ride that had sat idle for 18 months, only to find out later that the car wasn't street legal due to a engine transplant sans endorsement. Was literally about to give up until i was browsing the net this morning and stumbled upon an ad for a pristine looking '84 320i E30 going for a pretty decent price. Called up the owner, he was pretty enthusiastic about his ride and all, so i thought why not let's give it a shot. Upon viewing, the car literally sold itself, rusty front passenger floorpan that had been addressed by cutting out and rewelding a piece of metal in its place. defo not Play House Garage quality, but at least something. What doesn't work: 1. Rear Driver Side Power Window 2. Rear Passenger Side Central Locking Module Paid a downpayment, and fingers crossed she'll be in my arms by monday. Still need to get the inspection and ownership transfer done. Which will be attended to on Wednesday, which is still a holiday for me, yippee! My wishlist: 1. CD Player with RCA Outs, USB and AUX-in 2. Black doorcards to match the seats 3. New BMW front and rear emblems 4. Some kinda alarm with autolock function 5. Rear Disc Brakes 6. Bavaria Logo on back 7. Ducktail spoiler Will prolly be starting a build thread eventually to keep track of my progress. I'm pretty handy with tools so most of the stuff i can do will be DIY-ed. If anyone can help with parts, that'll be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
