  • BawwStin Grun: It haz begun...

    Herro... Um Hai.


    Some might remember my 98 Boston Green E36 328i. More here: http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=10697






    then to this:



    Well, May hadn't been a good month for us. 1st, my car was hit while parked and the AHole who did it, took off. Left me with:





    Being a Dad, I needed a car to transport teh kiddos around and couldn't get a rental. So I called my lil bro to swap me his 540i/6 for my Gixxer for a few days:




    Well, the next night (less than 24hrs) I get a call. .......








    At this point, I think I'm assed out. Soooooo.... I got my ass moving!

    Picked up a rental (2011 Malibu) and squared the bike away:




    With that out the way, I could relax a little. I decided at this point.... It was time to get the E36 looking better than it did before. Working at a shop part time nowadays (might go back fulltime) I was going to do the work myself. I work during the days elsewhere, so this has to be done 3-4hours a day at a time. So as soon as I found out the Ins. Co. wasn't going to help me at all, I set out immediately to get it back up and going...............







    It has begun:

      To just re-fresh the body, and replace the Canyons with the summer set-up Mitto's. Keeping factory pretty much. Might just shave off the "328i" emblem thats about it. I'd like to keep it as clean as possible.

          I know, but gets covered up when sanding. Heck, I got a specialty pen just for circling dents. This way works for me too.



          Cleaning up my Impro Headlights. "Might" french (yelllow) the highs.... "Might" not. Undecided at the moment.












          After I get through the bodywork, I will get back to working on these:

            i normally don't like yellow high beams, but just because the car is green i think it'd look hawt.

                Sorry for the delay in updates....... Been doing Werk.


















                to primer:






                Sanded that down:








                Then I started to add a twist. A custom pearl base color that has it's own flip to it.





                More tomorrow as it took 2 days to paint, and I forgot the cam on the 2nd day. I painted the coats of Boston Green over the custom base and cleared it already. Just have to get the wheels on, then off the jackstands/light wetsand/Buff and put everything back on.

                    Sorry for the low grade pics. After I do the trim and grills over as well as color sand and buff (Oh, and the Mittos ), I hope to have a professional shoot done.
