Sorry only update is this for now due to hectic work schedule and family duties and waiting to get paid end of the month. Nearly contemplated selling her due to my lack of interest but I am slowly getting more back now. No rush in anything I can wait maybe do some very soon touching bodywork up in places. Have rear coilover adjustment collars now so will be lowered out back again and will be going for neg 3deg camber with the 255s still on.
Like I said things will happen but plastidip the grills first as stone chipping galore happening atm.

Update time
Had a day off and hooked up with mr kevin atkin and stuff on the 330 progressed so here we go............first things first rear camber std arms got maxed out by kev seeing as kev bans me from spanners when hes about
Bought some brand new rear coilover adjustment collars of a local lad then the e36 lowered springs i had got shoved back in pronto:thumbsup:thumbsup
Rear height im happy with and will not be going lower as im still running 8.5 18s with 255/35/18 rears still with 15mm spacers on top and will not ruin the arches any more just for scene points
Headed back home and seeing as us norfolk crew are having a get together beer tonight at 7pm i quickly washed her with just zipwax only and she came up a treat so heres current pics
Front ive dropped 4 turns and basically i will not risk damage to the front arches or underneath as im at the absolute limit of safety with 225/40/18s on(215/40/18 would be much better)as i run 13mm spacers on top and natural camber atm for now as ive not got camber plates yet up front...yes i cant even get my foot under
As far as im concerned its a 330 so a performance car in many ways and i intend to keep it driveable everyday so this height it stays and if anything with more agressive wheels on i might even slightly raise he if need be.the grills ive still not plasti dipped yet but will happen and kev very kindly gave me some replacement rear lights as mine has a hairline crack in a rear one so fit them also
Cheers for looking

Pretty bummed out atm due to work messing wages up again so new rims put on the back burner for now. Decided the mv1s needed a colour change so went for Halfords anthracite wheel paint and freshened them up. Just came off the axel stands so haven't settled yet so it's lower than pics suggest.
New rims and colour change decided so hopefully by Sept Santa pod show it will all be done.
Really need some proper pics done so it will happen soon. Thanks for looking.

Currently saving hard for new rims and colour change so shot some pics after a quick detail. Need some 215/35/18 fronts so I can go lower as it rubs badly on full lock if I go lower
So much to do hopefully by Sept Santa pod show it will all come together for me... Wish I had more money lol
And us running light mod
Sorry if this project isn't up to some on here not really got loads of cash just enjoy messing around with cars.
My old e36 built on a strict budget

No updates can't be arsed atm with cars. Joined the gym and working like a dog too
Will be in something at Santa pod but can't say what... Rather ride my mountain bike if I'm honest beats pissing around with money pits.
Sorry if it's shitty to people who are subbed just really not feeling cars atm so I've basically stopped till I decided what I'm doing.
