Pekås e36 coupé build!

[Pekå]

Hello!

My name is Erik, but everyone calls me PK. I´m from Sweden so prepare for some grammar madness!

well. like a year ago i started getting really exited about my first car. i wanted to buy one and make something cool with it for my 18th birthday cause in Sweden you have to be 18 to get a license. i was 17 at the time.

I found a e36 318is that had been slightly crashed but it had almost no rust, had good service history and a pretty nice interior! he asked me for 6500skr(1000$) and i got it for 5500skr(850$) and i drove home happy with my first car!

the front of the car was shit and needed some fixing. the whole right side of the car had dents and scratches ant the front spoiler and the right side front side panel was shit.

i have till December 2013 to fix the car. it´s a big job but if i put myself together and start i will probably finish in time!


my plans is a really low white e36 with some wide 17" that i can drive with style!


well. after getting home:




nothing to sheer for..

well. you have to start somewere! i have threads that i write the updates in swedish so i will probably not update as much here, but if you want to look at pics my project is here:

no.. **** it! the paintwork is really bad and the car needs a respray and i love white e36s!

at the moment i´m widening e set of 17" steelies to 9" front and 9,5" rear! its going to be awsome on the car! in front the rim edge is going to be in line with the fender, and rear it´s going to be some poke to get the lower look in the front!

some build pics. it´s not done yet!

just arived home. got them for about 100$ so it´s very cheap! 7" all around :/


stock 17x7 vs the 17x9,5 that´s going to be in rear!

well. the last 3 days i´ve managed to get the car to school and do some work Im studdying to become a car mecanic

well.. i´ve:

tinted headlights yellow
mounted the m3-front
new gearknobb
tried to polish the outside of the headlights
welded the rims
removed the sound proof stuff under the hood

currently i´m just waiting for some new coilovers and tires so i can fit the wheels just as i want to

also bought some paint! it´s going to be mixed by me and it´s going ti be a white that aint warm or cold. just perfect haha


tint and the very bad glass :/ will get some new glass for the headlights..


gearknobb




new front!




welding the rims

[WICKED WEISS]

AWESOME. What did you use to paint the headliner?

[Pekå]

i used a tint film from a local low price market!

some air-bubbles but you cant really see them from outside..


just put it on as it came and then used a heat gun to get it tight in the edges worked great

[WICKED WEISS]

So the headliner has no fabric?

[Pekå]

oh. read it wrong read it headlights

well. just remove old fabric and then spray som contact glue on the headliner and the fabric and then press it on just buy a stretchable fabric!

i used a glue that needed a long time to get sticky, so i could fix ryncles and stuff after aplication

A salute from a fellow swede. This i gunna be epic! paint the steelies candy red in the center and try to polish the lip THAT would be epic! ;D

now it is temporarily lowered cause i will put the lip on and stuff so it will roll like this for a while.. i want to go lower though...
