Scott's E36 Touring

[Laef]

Dude I never had the chance to say how I love your touring. This thing is so clean.

It was an honor to see it in person and to be parked near it at the Cressing barns!

Damn, all the Touring action make me want one!

Grey is good, but I love the red one, please keep it without the M.package, thanks

I'm kind of set on doing the M sport stuff now. It just looks so much better.

Went over to a buddy's at the weekend to help swap some bits on his E36 over. We found a cool street to shoot some photographs on too.















I think that's the last outing for it this year, can't see me needing to bring it out anymore, weather is starting to get worse and worse.

Just need to get the red Touring through it's MOT and then I can start concentrating on the little bits for next year.

Gosh I love the e36 but I'm not a fan of the rear arches as they make the car have soooo much rake, just like the facelift e30s same thing. But still this thing is super clean, I likey

Always regret selling my other set of M Systems. So I managed to find another set of E31 wheels for mega cheap. Went and picked them up the other day, just need a good refurb and some covers.



Touring is now officially SORN'd and off the road. One last quick blast for some coffee last night.



And I got the daily stuck in a ditch trying to avoid some horse shit haha



Spent some time on the red Touring today too. Had some pretty shitty noises from the front, so replaced the drop links, inner and outer track rod ends with new gators. Noises are away! Need some new coilovers and another alignment though.

And I also gave it a yearly polish, really needs going over with a machine, it's covered in swirls from where I've washed it with stones haha.

Haha it's really nothing special. Need to get the wheels sorted, I've recently started parking by bouncing it off kerbs

Had a good day on the daily again. Made myself a list of jobs and managed to do all of them, so I'm pretty chuffed with myself.

First job was to fit the new bumpstops and covers. The new dampers didn't come with any and my current ones were pretty trashed. So out came the rear interior and popped them on after removing the top mounts.





I knew I'd be in the garage for most of the day, so I popped the headlights out. They were super foggy and had loads of water behind them. So I got them out and split them down and sat them in-front of the radiator for a few hours. They look much better now after a good clean and dry out. Gave the front panel a wee clean up too.





I swapped some spacers about, so the front doesn't rub anymore and it's actually quite pleasant to drive haha.

Tackled the rear boot lock too, I got a spare from Vish yesterday and fitted it, worked a treat. Now my boot actually locks! Which is always handy.





Sorted my handbrake too, now it works better than it ever has.

I'll leave you with a picture of some toy cars.

Thanks dudes. Might get around to working on the Touring sometime this week

Found some time to work on the Touring today.

Nothing major really, decided to test fit one the 9" rears on the front, more to feed my curiosity than anything else. Seem to fit really well, a lot more space than I imagined, so could definitely work if I took some time setting it up.

Going to be making a few changes to the coilovers/spring rates over winter so I can run lower without rubbing etc, so we will see how it goes.









I got around to adjusting the handbrake too as I got sick of almost pulling the damn thing off every time I used it. Adjusted it from the shoes and then took the slack out the cables from the inside, of which there was quite a lot.





Finished the day off just by giving the daily a wash and a quick coat of wax from AMDetails.
