Lucan 196 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) My POS daily driver looks like a POS, so decided to fix her up. I've been hoarding parts and have made a wee project thread to be a nob. Will or will be, making the most of our BS sponsors to keep the cost down (Ray & Brent already, Jono & Seth later) Anywho 318i sedan Beat up as exterior but the engine and trans have been well looked after. This is how she sits. I've already done the black suede headliner/pillars. And the goodies I've collected so far. Still to get: Red/Clear tail lights and indicators Tints Door bump trim (most have been damaged in "close calls") Tyres Exhaust tip Bumper Lip Needs a good cut and polish to tidy up the dull paint and I'm planning on a lot of DIY. Wheel refurb (Nathans project has motivated me to do it myself this time) Painting the Grey skirts Dent removal and fixing up the paint job General tidying Will be documenting all the fun here if I've forgotten stuff anyway Edited October 21, 2010 by Blackie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucan 196 Report post Posted October 21, 2010 Slowly. I've split the wheels and polished lips, centers have been acid dipped. Still deciding on paint colour for centers, polishing bolts is a PITA!! Umnitza Rings and Mtech Door mouldings have been thrown on. In the middle of prepping Mtech bumper and kidneys. Got an ACS front lip, needs paint too don't like CF look. Im putting in the springs this weekend. No pics sorry, broke my camera ages back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
