Akuma Tanaka 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2006 Hi all I have just purchased a 1988 E34 520i... I was hoping there was a place for me in this club as i have looked around and i have not found anyone who has modifed a vehicle like mine.. maybe i didnt look hard enough.. anyway my car has a blown head gasket and im about halfway through changing that, and im lowering, painting it then fitting my 18" wheels (of BMW origin but i dont know what model) Im looking forward top getting my old girl going and participating in a few of the cruises..

Akuma Tanaka 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 Hi all, nice warm welcome... Im selling my modifyed blown headgasket once its out $1 reserve (hope it meets reserve) I will post some pics as soon as my car starts looking like something i would have infront of my camera (did I add that i payed $400 for it?) I was a good deal and i should have it rolling, painted on the new wheels including the purchase price for around 2.5K...(the joys of being able to do my own work!) Oh and yes BravoMikeWhiskey its me... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akuma Tanaka 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 Hey ok, heres a pic, BUT NO LAUGHING! The wheel sitting in the front is one of the rims im putting on it, does anyone know what they are off for interests sake? Oh and any ideas for paint colour? I was thinging oriental blue, as i was working on a 2002 model 525i today an i thought it looked quite swanky, other sugestions were Bright orange (almost flouro) and Black (maybe satin..) Remember no laughing.... I only just got it, gimmies a coulple weeks (will be finish B4 summer cruising time..) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nz320i 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 i think those look sweet in silver, get a real swish silver and put those wheels on lower it and 35% mirrors the one you only get the mirror look from angles would be hot!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
