Ok so I finished "building" more like fixing my mk2 back in August so I posted it up for sale... Final and favorite shit pic I ever took of it. 
Well had it up for trade/sale for a minute, mainly wanted to trade for well anything that wasnt front wheel drive... Sure enough dude emails me saying he has an 5 speed 85 325e e30 lowered on h&r's and konis. Test drove it, checked all the fluids (oil was beyond stupid clean, even with the change oil light on) so did some negotiating got to keep my ATS classics and he brought his own wheels to toss on the mk2. Think I eneded up with the better end of that deal... Pics from day one...
YES, Sweet xxr's I know, be jealous! Ok now first things first I had been wanting to do something fun for awhile and this thing was going to be my "fuck it, do it" car. So first things first ram air headlight cause its tits. Also repainted all the front end trim pieces as the looked like crap. So first things first paint...
More paint... copper
Front all take apart...
Redneck engineering chicken wire... then used some dryer duct and other miscellaneous parts i had lying around to hook the air scoop directly to the box... and yes it will actually suck a dollar bill to it when you rev it.
Ok now the front end was all re-painted, all fluids changed out... it was time to deal with the jacked up hood. The PO tried to sand it down or something, truly not sure what he was attempting to do but regardless I sanded it down to bare metal and then threw a mix of vinegar and a little PBR on it... And got this yes super circa 2010 but it matches the other rust spots...
Then got a schweet roof rack for $80 bones on craigslist...
Drove it like this for a week... ***** the ride height and the 50 series bullshit tires
So ordered these bad boys... Thanks Jaze
Then took the car to Factory 55 LLC and Matt Waln hooked it up on the suspension install.
While the car was at the Fantasy Factory I had begun hoarding parts up...
First 16x9 Borbet Type A's
New tires, slapped on the Falken 512's 205/45 all around
Also got some super dope 2 piece centerlines off a porsche 930 slantnose off ebay for $150 bones.. 15x7/10
A little polishing... Now Im torn on which set to run this spring... Ugh tough life
Then invited a few friends over to massage out the fenders and have a few beers... My boy Arty (he's on here drove the dirty 190e cossie at h20 with my old gotti j55a's on it) did work on the fenders... straight tucking 9's
Before:
After:
Ran into some fitment issues... the backpad on the borbet's were hitting the calipers so that was fucking disappointing... Tried to make it work with washers but no dice... Probs put the damn wheel on 10 times
Special thanks to my other boy Kevin Trower for the nice shots that day. And lastly me giving up... Love this picture..
Tried some universal spacers the next day and that was about a sketch as fuck...
So next day ordered proper spacers and some extended lugs because they are awesome!
Now that she was finally road worthy I went to a mid winter meet great turn out someone snapped this pic and this is where she is at today
And also in this video... 1:14 mark she shows up. http://youtu.be/sy2UdIxS1ss
And thats all for now... love it or **** it doesnt matter to me its a fun little car
