Hello from finland

This is my pride and joy! Bought it at summer for 400€

It has only 254Tkm on the clock and had same owner for 19 years.
Has full service book and all part/service receipt from that time.

As you can see the paint was very bad, so now it has new paint.
Don't have pictures of it how it is now but I'll promise to take some new pics when I get a change

New colour is somewhat brown/green/orange etc.. Changes with the lighting.
I have few plans for it and restoration is not one of those. Let's see how it's gonna change while on my ownership

Well, welcome to Finland!

Recently noticed a very beautiful Finnish 323i for sale on Autoscout24... just a pity it's a few hours driving away

haha

I'm not sure is that a good thing or not

Well here's the promised pictures of the new paint.
Taken with a very bad camera but I bet you can see the effect from these

The rims have been sandblasted and painted with chrome paint.

Still to come:
Lowering kit
16" Rims
Tinted windows
and a bigger and better motor with turbo but still runs good with the original 1,6L

Heh. I thought that everybody wouldn't like the paint..
But I can assure U that it's not the final.
Final colour is going to be orange with black hood, but I don't know when it's gonna get it.
I have bought a m10b18i turboed motor for it and now I'm saving money for brakes and stuff,
which is kinda hard because I lost my job recently
