so with my escort being unreliable and needing some tlc i decided that I needed a new daily drive was needed...
i went on retrorides and purely by chance i spotted an advert for a 1988 525i. emailed the seller and the next day picked this up...
not bad for £240 with 6 months mot
plans are for an lsd/welded diff, coilovers and some good wheels... but first there are a lot of problems to fix...
- every wheel is an odd size
- the front suspension wasn't even tightened properly
- the front suspension is very badly worn and needs replacing
- most of the dash doesn't work, and the gauges read what they like
It also needs a full respray, but that's not a priority
the biggest shock is the cost of decent wheells. it's very easy to find a set of wheels for an old ford for less than £500. That wouldn't even buy me one wheel for this
