People still build E36s?

[Fruttolo]

Boston green and white wheels is so nice, impossible to dislike it

This turned out so good is such a short time, keep it up man!

Got the last few things done tonight, first was throwing away the plastic lenses and swapping in the glass units.





I can see at night now!



Pieced the trunk back together



Swapped in my rare ass non sagging black door cards too.







Fun fact, this interior is composed of stuff from every coupe I've owned.

This is the last post til after OC. Hope to see some of you there!

NIce thread! Just picked up an e36 as well and thinking off going same direction so i'm following

Made the 1100 mile trip to and from Ocean City this past week and the car much to my dismay, did not let me down. I only had two issues, one being it reeked of gas when the sun was coming down on the car and I got a flat tire from rubbing through the tire. Not a bad shakedown if you ask me. There's still a lot I want to do and go through but I'm taking it one step at a time here.

A quick timeline of my trip:

Car packed, sacked and ready to fack.



Early morning departure with friends:



Late night arrival and spontaneous car wash:



32nd street hangs:



Rolling in dough:



Home:



Managed to not get pulled over, but as we were leaving I got some distance on the strip from my friend in the Passat and he actually got pulled over and threatened to be impounded. The officer said that if I wasnt so far ahead she would have pulled me over to. Shout out to traffic for saving me on a $140 fine. Going to a local show this weekend then its off to paint. While the car is at paint I will be pulling the driveline from the M3 and setting that up in the garage. E36 won't be touched much this winter but I will be going through the engine and trans to get it ready for the swap. Also I posted some better photos from the trip here: http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...-My-E36-on-BBS

Check that out if you have time, I will be adding more photos to it.

If you happen to have a spare man-trans I'd be happy to take it off your hands.. haha. Both my cars are auto. curious, what size tire is that on the style 5? 205/40? 17? Asking because I have some for the hellrot. Lastly, how do you keep your panels shiny?

[fackinsteve]

Thanks guys!

Yep they're 205/40s on the style 5s. Not sure what panels you're referring too haha. I can save the pedal assembly from the M3 and sell you the complete 5 speed swap from this car once the S50 swap begins

How much would you want for it? And the interior plastics is what I mean. Armorall works for like a day.

Probably $350, and dont use armor all it dries up the plastic. I really only use glass cleaner on my plastic lol

If you keep it until next summer I'd honestly probably buy it. I've just been using the vinyl wipes ngl. It works for a couple days and then fades.

I saw you cruising the strip! Nicely done E36

Thank you!

Got some freshie rear tires on there for the week so I can hang out at Staggered. Haven't put my car in a show for 2 years so it was kind of an odd feeling watching people hover around my car lol.



Spent the next following days pretty much planning my way of getting my car down to Sean's to have him respray it. So here's randoms of in between.





Finally made the drive to Providence, peep my eyeball alignment and 3.91 diff. Thats 5th gear lol



Dropped off, its half assembled now but I will be headed down Monday to take it apart further. Need to source some sideskirts because I'm an idiot and that should be it. Long road ahead, hopefully I can get some photos of the process

So happy I got to see this thing in person at staggered. Gotta get you parked inside next year

[///Grandalen]

We shall see! I'm not a sore loser either way, thank you again for the hook up. I owe you one.

They're BBS RF's they came in a few different variants. These are RF010 and RF011, 17x8.5/9.5 et13

Been slacking on updates lately, but nothing much for me to say because I haven't been doing anything to the car. Sean has been kicking ass on getting it prepped for me as much as I've been wanting to help, but I have been a little pre occupied with life things lately. I'm just going to photodump it.































I've made the decision to have him pull the quarters and I'm going to raise the car a bit to figure out the rear fitment. Might add some camber too but not really looking to go that route if necessary. The front I want to lower a bit more, but will need to widen the wheels to get more stretch. Car is getting painted Sunday. Will be looking to get the car home asap too, going to slowly put it back together and replace all the seals and stuff. That's all for now
