[johno_85]

Whats up guys my name is John. Im from southwest Missouri. Im in the process of swapping m3 motor , transmission, reared, brakes, well basically all the running gear. I also got some goodies along with it full ground control suspension, and headers and full exhaust.

What the m3 donor car look liked after the city i live in was hit by a tornado last may.


Cool picture from the night i brought the 325 home.


s50 and transmission setting on the floor waiting to go in


The night i brought the 325 home and moved the m3 shell out.


The 325 with the m3 drivetrain and suspension swapped over.


Ups split my wheels up lol. Wish they were type 1 racing but they'll work


The car all put together test fitting everything before I paint it all.


Doing a little bit of interior work

The interior isn't what I would have expected, but I like it!! I love they you built it from a shell. Quality control ftw!!! What color are your repainting it?

[johno_85]

The interior was from the M3 it was a lux car. The tan leather door panel inserts had seen better days. I wanted yellow plaid but everything the fabric store had was full of blues and greens. This is what I went with. lol Its different for sure. Im planning to paint it back yellow for this year since its just panels that need painted. I would love to paint the car laguna seca blue over next winter.

O ok cool man! yea I'm all for the different things i.e. my build. I'm glad the yellow's staying , because it pops and it's better than the typical red or black e36's

Cool your building something awesome from a crappy situation. I grew up in KC not far from you.

Actually I dated a girl from Joplin, can't remember her name but she was a pretty successful model.

[johno_85]

Yeah man it was a very crappy situation. I was lucky enough to not be personally affected but a very good friend of mine lost his home. KC is a very cool town like it up there a lot. If it stops raining tomorrow I'll go get some better shots of the car for you guys.

WoW this car is coming along fast! Keep up the good work,wish my E36 was coming along this fast.

[johno_85]

Thanks for the kind words it been a project for about 2 months now hope to have it finished up soon!

My wife does a little bit of photography and wanted to take some pictures of the car tonight. I got some decent ones out of it. Would look a lot better if it was all one color! Lol
