Chad G's project(s)

I'd keep the enkei on the e36 and just sell it like that once you figure out how not make it rub. Looks pretty good.

holy fuck haha the amount of cars you go through...those VW's were clean, and that integra was perfect! love eg's!

sub'd

[Chad G]

Wait, you built all those cars in one year!?

If so, that's really impressive.

yes sir! well, the only one that was "built" was the del sol. i never finished that caged eg hatch.

the others were more like maintain it then slam it. kind of like whats going on with the e36.

heres a bit of an update for you kids.

i got some work done on the e36.

bought oem m3 skirts to cover up the rocker rust, a beat up oem m3 front bumper, changed the diff fluid, fixed leaky valve cover gasket, changed front and rear pads and rotors, replaced coolant, thermostat, thermo housing, and installed coilovers.

maintenance pics are boring.









i've been collecting wheels for the past few months to refinish and sell.



i was having problems with my stock 15" meshies not letting me go low. they were hitting the coilovers up front. so i rolled the fenders and installed these 15x7 +0 enkei 92's that i got for a steal.





still need to pull the fenders more. they rub like hell with the fat tires i have. these are temporary until i finish my bbs.

thanks guys! the eg is getting stock suspension and will be used as a beater in the snow. next spring i'll slam it back down... but it may fall apart with one more michigan winter, its pretty rough.

heres a e36 i just picked up a couple months ago.



its got alot of rust but it was cheap. its a 94 325is.

I've seen that eg before. And I like it just as much as the first time

[rsingh3g]

I love the teggy, but maybe once the eg gets a clean up, it will look better just my opinion

[TeckniX]

Somehow I enjoy watching rusted hatch with nice wheels.
Although really that cancer is pretty intense.

[Arteeste]

Both cars look good

this is my build thread. i apologize in advance for lack of good spelling/grammar and shitty pics.

this isnt much of a "build" thread, more or less just what i'm tinkering around with at any given time. i dont make alot of money and i do what i can with what i have. i bought my first home at age 22, and i've obviously got more important things on my plate than my automotive hobby.

heres some background. i'll go back about one year in the past and continue until current.

i built this del sol 2 winters ago. its was a completly stock 93 s model and was b18b-t when i sold it.





a 2.0 jetta i bought for a daily. got a good deal on it. then threw some 100 dollar blades and racelands on.




my garage randomly gets used by friends. i also owned a miata last year.




fast forward to this summer, i got this 1.8t mk4 for $1k and made it look nice, again, another set of cheap wheels.



the car next to it is a caged eg hatch that i cleaned up, shaved/brakeline tucked the bay and sold. i lost motivation on the project and had to move on. i still have the b16 waiting for a clean shell some day.
heres the finished engine bay:


in the meantime i bought this:



and this:



after some work they look like this:





then i decided the integra will be my track car for now. since the caged eg hatch was being built to see track time. so i changed some parts around and set it up for the road course. i only ran at one event but next season it will be ready to rock.
