Hello everyone ive been a member for a bit but due to ill health ive not had time to really do much and also since last time i posted ive sold my old e36 328 coupe and now have a e36 323 i se saloon so please excuse some unfinished jobs and its all of course work in progress with a very limited budget due to being off work for quite a while and also this is my daily runner and work car also.
Anyway here goes with pics of my old one
put my heart and soul rebuilding that car but the rear arches were a real let down and needed a full respray to make a great car and then out of the blue got an offer i couldnt refuse on it after it was featured in pbmw readers cars and drove round in a remapped ford mondeo st24 for a few months but even the wife and kids knew i wanted another bmw especially a saloon as my mate has a real nice modded one and so the missus said heres some money and go shopping but within budget only and not a penny more.
as luck had it i heard of a well known london forum car up for grabs that needed work but over 6 k of total bills and full bmw service history and some styling that not everyone approves of but it was straight and only one front drivers wing that had any sort of rust beginning to show and thought right im having this one and a deal was made.
the following is very pic heavy so hope you understand ive already done quite a bit on her
the car when i picket it up
some more pics through the transformation
And now the fun bits start so 18 button obc fitted
new stereo install consistinf alpine speakers all round
2000w sub box and 2000w monoblock amp plus new jvc stereo
full 328 exhaust fitted and modded backbox to reduce silencing
oh and of course being stanceworks i decided i really should lower it quite a bit so rear is dropped all the way-adjuster still in
front is dropped to max drop but adjuster still in as i live near the mother of all speedhumps and mot is fast approaching and being my daily i have to be smart about it
my coilovers are ta technix
unfortunately due to being short of cash at the moment tyres are 235/45/17 and 205/45/17 but i have brand new 215/4/17s for the rear in my garage and just saving for 205/40/17s for the front but no rubbing at all on m3 wheels and et41 offset
and at a recent meet me and my mate karl together
as you may have already noticed i have also some staggered rc041/42s im redoing but instead of going polished lips and painted centres im going all white instead to be different and i like being different and dont follow the rules regardless of scene or fashion and have my own saying
be a leader,not a follower
quick photoshop to give you an idea
sorry its a bit pic heavy but ive done loads now but i know it wont win any shows and needs work and yes i will paint the boot and bonnet further down the line(it was like that when i got it)but i love it and will just enjoy doing it regardless of how little money i have nowadays ha ha ha
