E36 Daily "Project"

Recommended Posts

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) :D

Anywho 318i sedan :mellow: Beat up as exterior but the engine and trans have been well looked after.

This is how she sits.

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 ;)

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 <_<

The 3 6 Don has spoken..Although fitting the wheels under there might be a problem without the use of a hammer :P

Should probably sort out the massive dent in the rear passenger side door too haha
