Some progress was made tonight. Got one bolt that was snapped, out of the block. Unfortunately the other two are unsaveable without a right angle drill and a tap and die. I dont feel like drilling it out, I'm going to put it together as is and keep a watchful eye and dont beat on it. The engine wont be staying long anyways. Aside from that I cleaned the interior a little bit and started swapping the radiator. Tomorrow I hope to button it up and take it down the street and see how it does. Will check back this weekend
Door cards are definitely not staying but I might take the wood trim and wrap it in carbon fiber or something. We will see

Got the radiator in and coolant bled as well as the motor mount back in. Needed to swap the wheels off the M3 and throw some DSIIs on so here is how it looked like on the ground.
Moving the front 205/45's to the rear and grabbing 205/40's for the front to get it driving basically. The car doesn't really move on the current setup. Next on the agenda was cleaning the stickers off because I pretty much **** most stickers on cars unless they're well thought out and coordinated
Threw the M3 front bumper on
Thinking of it now I should really order a front plate delete, fog light delete and lux grille for this car. One thing at a time however.
Briefly cleaned the interior to get the surface filth off, took apart the console to throw away the armrest because it was probably going to give me hepatitis
I also bought a NRG hub spacer so I didn't have to order a boss hub to replace my momo hub because I am cheap. So here's some cheap Nardi content
I plan to restore the leather a little bit and get it looking right if I can. I've always wanted a Nardi.
Pulled the moldy Vaders out of the M3 and wiped them down.
Doing this made me realize that I should do the full interior swap now since everything's pretty easy to do and I have the space readily available right now. So I'm going to gut the M3 this week and swap EVERYTHING over that's usable. Should make it halfway decent inside.
I left tonight off with mocking the M3 twist skirts and installing the M side trim that I purchased new and had on the white E36 coupe.
This weeks plans are:
Gut the M3
Swap tires on the RFs
Dye the grey carpet black
Install black interior into green E36
Should have another update soon

Stitching can be dyed my friend. Please keep that wood, I'd buy it and I don't even have a coupe man. It's stunning2 328i e36's

Those vaders look mint, I am jealous AF
