A Distraction of Sorts: My 1991 BMW 318is

The video idea is great.

I don't normally run wheels before suspension, it just looks beyond goofy to me, but I want to sell my weaves as soon as I can to buy more parts and whatnot so I figured I'd just do it. It's only going to look like this temporarily, still waiting for GE kits to come back in stock. Then I made a terrible photoshop of how I basically want the car to look when it's finished, minus a few things that I don't have the skills to add. Check out my sweet ass crosshairs



I should also add that this build is going to be a bit different from my other builds. Instead of heavily documenting through photo's and posting them up, I decided I'm going to document every step through video as of today. When it's all done, I'm going to make an edit of the whole build from step 1 to when it's finished. Just thought it'd be kind of cool. I'll still post up photo's of progress but not as thoroughly as my other builds.

It is an awesome daily, 30 mpg's in the e30 body style. I'd say that's a win-win

total win-win

quit goofin' around on this thing and finish your 02

To be honest, it's nice to take a break. The last few months have consisted of very tedious work on the '02. Days where I'm holding an angle grinder all day and my arms are shaky for the rest of the night. I'm still fully motivated to finish the '02, and I'm working on it Monday and Tuesday.

The e30 isn't a huge project. Mainly just paint, suspension and wheels.

Interested to see where this goes.

So what m42s are underpowered, 318 e30s make basically the perfect daily, a friend of mine has a convertible one and it's the funnest of things
