Some slight updates from the weekend.

...

Then I lowered it on some wood to get the jack out from under the subframe.

BRILLIANT!

I need to do my bushings and end links up front like badly, all in good time. I need up update my build log as well :/ Hopefully I'll get some fun pics this week!

Beautiful work so far, the fitment is going to absolutely spot on!

I will do my front bushings this winter. It's nice that the airlift struts come with extended m-style sway bar endlinks. They seem very well made too.

Beautiful work so far, the fitment is going to absolutely spot on!

Thank you. I appreciate all the kind words I just need to tweak the front camber and rear fenders and it should all be good.

[hi its me alec]

Hell yeah. Crazy progress. If you ever sell those wheels, you have a buyer (me)

Teaser from today



Full update tomorrow

[Earl]

Well the compact got outside for the first time since November=)

I got the airline ran for the front struts and then rolled it outside to sweep out my spot in the shop. Enjoy the picture dump=D








The drivers rear somehow snaked the tire in more than usual and seemed like it was going to unbead. lol I need to pull the fenders within the next week or two.



I then pulled the car in and cambered the fronts to get the fitment down. Then I realized that the struts need to be spun down because it doesn't air down as far as I want. Here is where the front is at now.



I also just love the insane toe in the rear......not



Definitely getting my trailing arms modified this winter to correct that.

I also inspected the chain guides on my motor and they were all good except for the right hand side one. The plastic was separating from the metal. Now to order that, paint the timing covers, and get it all back together=)

Updates after Saturday=P

I saw this on Instagram the other day and thought it was Touring, but I was surprised when I noticed it was a compact!

It's looking good man!

[Earl]

Haha I thought the same thing after I took the picture

That has to be the most perfect of a Ti and possibly of an E36 in general that I have ever seen! I can't stop staring at it.
Are you going to be leaving the side skirts off? and have you considered removing the rubbing strip on the side and just having the recessed body line?

Well thank you very much=) I have debated putting sideskirts back on. I most likely will be doing so. I have my ///M skirts right now that I'll be putting back on, but probably won't drill holes to mount them for now. I may get lux/late model skirts if the ///M ones are too flashy. I am a big fan of the M-Tech side moldings and will not be shaving them. I just have the moulding off because I never put it back on after peeling the plastidip.

Two more pictures that look almost exactly the same




Edit: I have also been thinking of getting rid of the Grip Royal. I want something that fits more with the interior.

My jaw dropped after seeing those outside photos. Starting to regret that I turned down a offer of oz breyton wheels some time ago. Those are spot on.

Starting to look like yours is on the road before my because head gasket is leaking water. No need to hurry with air instal so I bought 323i M-sport for daily drive. [http://s294.photobucket.com/user/Aar...20323i%20Coupe

Thanks bud. They're one of my favorite wheels and I couldn't refuse at the price I got them for. After I refinished them I was super happy with my decision.

Nice daily. I still have my horrid MK3. lol Mine needs to be ready for H20 so let's see if it gets done in time.

[R. Jani]

Thanks. I wish you good luck with this project to get it ready in time.
