Julian's e34 535i "project"

[LowE34]

Hi! after a lot of lurking i finally decided to make an account and build thread! my first car, a '98 subaru 2.5rs that i built up a little and was in the process of wrapping matte military green (i vinyl wrap for a living) got totaled by a utah driver sold that, then found this '92 535i manual with 120k on the clock for $2200 with minimal rust and a straight body, but someone had repainted it from the origional zinnoberrot red

Mod list:

Megan Euro Street coilovers (front struts cut and welded)
K&N CAI
Custom muffler delete
16x8 et20 wheels (donno what model they came off)
15mm wheel spacers front/back
Taillight amber tinted red
High Beams tinted yellow
Double layer garage door lip

Near-future plans:

Wheels-not sure what, 18x10 rear 18/17x8.5 front et0 all around
Lip
Vinyl Wrap- matte zinnoberrot red (custom printed) possibly with wood grain hood

how she sits:

in the process of making a wooden roof rack with wood cross bars mounted on yakima feet for a subaru rs. looking good so far, pics tomorrow when poly has dried

[LowE34]

poor quality pictures, but the rack is finished. stained and polyurethane coated cedar wood on hardwood crossbars, attached with yakima feet for a '98 subaru rs.

Why the tape on the fog lights, yellow beams and roof rack? the E34 doesn't suit the rat look at all in my opinion! Get some coilovers and some 3pc wheels and we have a winner!

previous owner replaced one of the fogs with a different model, so only one works, i figured hey why not x um out. yellow highs and roof rack i really like the look of sitting on megan coilovers, waiting to find the right set of double staggered wheels

busted out the oil pan in a huge unmarked dip. $200 for a used oil pan, then having to pull the engine and drop the subframe to replace it left me with a broken power steering cooling system, smashed fog lights, and a busted up bumper. in went some piping to shoot cold air on the intake, poking out the foglight hole. hellas are filling up the other fog whole tomorrow. tires were worn through to the threads, a nice burn out ended those and put on the winter tires.
