Well I figured it was fitting to post a bit of a build thread, gives me a chance to show off what i've blown money on
Started with the car, a 1990 325is, had for about 1.5 years and put 60,000km's on it in that time. now sits at 501,000kms. Yes, no extra digits there over 500k.
So for that reason you can see why I'm not to concerned about spending alot of money on it to make it really clean, its just not worth it. It runs great, thanks to a motor I put in last summer, drives ok, no thanks to being dumped, and has all the comforts I need.
Its seen some different looks.
Last summer:
This spring:
Right now:
I picked up some RM's and GC's for a bargain:
Then I went to europe for 2 weeks to visit family in the Netherlands and see Italy. Before leaving I ordered up lips, and during my visit I picked up some goods :
Picked up, euro headlights, grills, plate filler, trims, and some dutch plates.
Got back and assembled the wheels and had to test fit:
Spec's are 15x9 et 8 and 15x9.5 et 1
Installed the GC's on some shit shocks that I will likely replace after I get pissed off with my now really crappy ride:
Ended up welding the struts to high, bottomed out i'm just tucking tire up front, i'm not impressed to say the least. So I will weld up another set of struts sometime soon and fix that.
Thats pretty much where i'm at right now, going to a euro car show tomorrow and hopefully mounting tires too, so updated pics will come for sure if that happens. If not as soon as it does.
