So while all my friends are crying over their final projects and spending all day in their room rushing to get them done, I've finished mine so instead I'm spending all day in my room reading stanceworks threads since I can't really hang out with my friends.
So I figured I might as well make a thread for the new car since next week I'll actually get to start working on it. It'll start really slow because a year in college emptied my bank account, but between the headlight retrofits and the electric fan, there's no shortage of wires to organize in the engine bay and that's free
You probably don't remember me but I've had two other cars I've made threads for. They were a mk4 jetta and another e36 that ended up like this
I love both those cars, but this car came up for sale and I knew I had to jump on it because I knew the owner and I knew that there were already tons of parts on it that I was planning on replacing in the black one. The guy that sold it to me parts out e36s, so I also got a trunk full of spare parts with the car, so it made an already good price even better
And now I have to work on selling those cars, and dealing with people from craigslist is definitely one of my favorite activities
Without further ado, here is the new one. It is a 1997 328i convertible.
All I've done so far is swap the shift knob with the stock one from the black car. The weighted one feels nice, but I really **** the way it looks.
The paint doesn't look as good in person as it does in the pictures and the doors were replaced when he got another sierrarot vert to part out and the pinstripes are different and I think they are painted on
But paint wise it'll stay how it is until I'm done with college because for the next two and a half years it'll sit in a parking lot that other college students park at and they aren't the most careful
exterior wise I don't have many plans, but I want to do some performance stuff as well as make it a really great daily driver. oh and lower it more
Here's a shitty photoshop of what I want it to look like on the outside and the height I want it. Maybe some day I'll have money for wheels too but at this rate I won't have money for food soon.
