Good start. way to go with the bumpers, easiest modification for these cars and it drives me nuts when people dont do it. Looking forward to progress.

Hows it going everyone? So like it says im 18 and this is my first year out of high school. I have had dreams of building a car since I turned 16 and now that I don't have to go to school in fall (taking a year off from college).I figured what better time than now. Also a side note i have little to no experience in cars so progress may be a tad slow.

So for the last year i have been driving this truck and love it to death. Im going to keep it forever. Its 2007 Gmc Sierra 2500HD Duramax with a programmer, full turboback exhaust an intake. Its kinda a sleeper of sorts.



As much as i love my truck i knew that wanted to focus on something else. I had always loved the old bmw's and so a couple weeks ago i bought this.



And Immeadiatly started working on it. First thing i did was shorten those ugly diving boards.
Before


and After


So after that i decided to cut the springs down a little bit and her at least a little lower haha.




Pulled the coils out the rear first


and then started cutting


ended up with this


So after that i put the rear suspension back in and started working on the front. Cut 2.5 coils off the the front as well.


Put the front suspension back in and now she sits like this.


Also while i was doing this i decided to paint my grilles

So Before all old and faded


and After all painted up


I have done a couple more things but i forgot to take pictures it was very small stuff like taking off emblems and removing the pinstripe.

Updates will hopefully be frequent and i should be getting some nicer temp wheels soon and hopefully real coilovers. I have a lot of plans for this car hopefully i can get all of it done. Also let me know if i should resize my photos haha i know they are kinda big.
