I purchased this 86 325e back in July. It had been sitting for four years prior and wasn't running. I got a good deal on it and got it as a project.
After changing the fuel tank, lines, pumps and relay, spark plugs, distributor cap/rotor, ignition coil, battery and main relay (all over the last 5 months), it finally decided to run today. I've never had a more fulfilling car start.
I still haven't driven it yet; the clutch pedal needs my attention next. Over the last 5 months, it stopped coming back up. So now when I depress it, it stays on the floor. Either way, Im stoked that I was able to get the car started.
RESULT!

Replace the clutch master & slave, bleed the clutch and start driving the car.
The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
