Bonita J's E36 Build

[Bonita J.]

nice looking sedan

Thanks!

Its an e36, I really don't think you have to be worrying about cracking pans.

EDIT: also If you plan on laying frame it might be in your best interest to go with a 35 series tire on 18s

Still wanted the ability drive it comfortably and get over things, and we ended up going for a 35 series as well!


UPDATE:

Have 215/35's for the front and 215/40's for the rear. Wheels are currently being broken down to be refinished. But I can't seem to find the center caps any where!

Interior has been chosen, have something that would NEVER be seen in a BMW
Just need to find an upholstery place to do the rears!

Air ride has been chosen and paid for, waiting for the parts to arrive sometime next week, and install will be done by Hard Parker Garage that weekend.

In talks with a family member to do some paint work for me as well.


If everything goes as planned, we will be done by the end of May!

Car and all air ride components are now at Hard Parker Garage awaiting the install over the weekend! Hope to have a whole bunch of pictures and to show at the Japan Relief Gathering in SF next weekend!

Haha yeah I'm a lucky guy. and thats funny, my girl has the e36, and I recently bought an r32 for myself haha

very nice e36!

Thanks!

Onto to updates:

We wanted everything to be hidden in the trunk, and to also have it look as oem as possible so everything is being placed behind a false wall.



How it will look from looking into the trunk.



Here is HPG's FB page as thats where I grabbing the pictures from haha.

Well played homie ! as i said on facebook , i love it !
cant wait to get mine bagged soonn !

Was only thinking about this the other day......
Looks pretty sick. It that aired out in the back? If not I think it could do with being a bit lower imo, would look miles better without the excess rake.

Thanks, theres still a bit of work to go, the pics are all aired out, I noticed the brackets out back are pretty tall, wondering if i can shorten them to gain a few valuable mm's. In all honesty though, i love the positive rake. haha With the right wheels the back end usually goes significantly lower than the fronts









^^ since i didnt post them in this build thread
