Playing around with front bumper options, flipped an E24 front, but doesn't quite cut it, so may have go cut the bumper up and fit it straight to the standard
-
Old E28 was stripped and taken away. Sold the M62 and in the process of looking for an M60 from an E32. I have my wedding in 3 weeks so need a wedding car, hence the reboot ?
-
Broken mud flap, but we have 30mm off the floor ? Might need front spacers to bring the wheel out a tad more. Sneak peak at the front bumper combo too
-
Finally got all the lines and wiring and tank compressor stuff finished. Boot needs a few more things to finish it off, BUT we have the car sitting on the tyres, might need to go for a lower profile... Fronts will be chucked in tomorrow and then system test on Friday Oh and we have a matching tool box

Haha no shark on this. Can't copy slammington too much

After taking a brake from the projects for a while and then finishing off the Track Daily, I started back on this ol thing. However with my wedding coming up in 6 weeks, I was forced to slightly alter the project and start again. Not ideal, but it was going to be easier and faster getting the wedding car look I want. I purchased a mint running E28 off trade me, with 22 years of proven service history and mechanical up keep. The body wasn't in great condition in some places due to rust, but that was perfect for me. Drove the car around for a week or two, headed to Hamilton and Themes and was very happy with it, so have decided to keep the 2.5 (2.7) in it for now and run it till it dies, then look at the V8 option again, only this time ill get one out of an E32 or E34. Other V8 is up for sale on trade me now Ive pulled off most of the rusted parts from original car and will just use these rather than re rusting the other parts. Started cutting up the rear quarters to make way for the wide arches to fit the wider wheels. Jacked the wheel hub to get an idea of droppage, still has approx. 30mm to go for full slam. Fronts all welded, painted up and will installed this weekend after ive done the front flaring of the guards Should have a fully slammed and Patina Rusta-Rod before too long

Auction for the engine ends tomorrow ladies, make sure ya'll bid and get a good deal. Perfect for another E46 V8 conversion :-)

-
Me too. I have all the internals and airbag, just need the wheel
-
I just need to find the boot and leather console cover now
-
Yea that's neutral. I'm also starting to think the 'kit' I bought was made up of random parts from random cars
-
Fixed, thanks to my handy pipe 'n tube bender. And now the gear stick has character
-
Will also have a set of the BBS 15" wheels with near new Miche tyres - $700 (once I get the 17" on)
-

You don't want to keep this and sack it on 20s?
-

I cant post photos either
-
I'm not sure Brent. I bought the kit a while ago from Nick, I believe it was out of a 4 cylinder 318i or so. Not sure on part numbers, I'll have to get under the car again. I'll get a picture up too
-
So I've got the new interior installed in the E36, with the G220 manual conversion, the gear shifter doesn't have enough space to engage reverse due to hitting on the dash surround. Anyone else have this issue?
-
Must be drivable, with rego. Warrantable is preferred but can deal with if not. Looking at around the $2k - 3k max mark as it will be part of a photoshoot with Rusta and convoy for my wedding in April.
-
$150 Ono? Kind of need the space back for the Utes interior
-
Did you do you manifolds? Keen to come do mine :-) I have the same problem with spacing
-
Just a little preview of what ive been working on... decided to shift all the running gear from one car and into another (street legal) Will update the project thread once I iron out some kinks and get the interior/ pretty stuff finished
