So I had an introduction thread going, but I figured I would post my build thread and show everyone whats happened / what is happening (for those of you who care...)
Anyways, this is how the car when I first got it back in 2008 i believe.
I was very lucky to find an extremely clean, with clean titled e30 1990 325is.
I ran the 17" Alpina reps for quite some time until I decided to break one of them.... (no picture) I then went on a hunt for new wheels I picked up a nice set of 16x7 et25 Hartge wheels pictured here.
Ran these for quite quite a long time. During this time Ive had many changes happen to the car. I kept it fairly simple changing mainly suspension and exhaust with the exception of a few IS lips.
I first ran Ground Control coilovers full bolt on kit that I got used from a local fellow, I found that the suspension set up was far too stiff for my liking considering this is my daily driver. I then decided to buy new and get my self a set of KW coilovers, and have been extremely happy since. currently I have not been running camber plates but I will soon.
I then ran into some issues that I had no control over. My first major incident to the car
Considering this was my daily driver I decided to bite the bullet and pay the amount needed to fix this instead of handing this over to the insurance company. So i went out hunting for parts and picked up everything I needed. I also decided hell why not just get a respray done since I had a guy who offered me a price i couldn't turn down so this happened
I was extremely happy with the outcome of the paint, Now time to piece everything together. Unfortunately the lights broke and I was unable to execute the crosshair smoked look so I figured I would take a turn on look and go for the classic style, chrome kidney with clear smileys.
Of course stuck with the euro grills as well as euro kidney, this set up was run for another long while and then put her into winter mode, Over winter I decided that I would make a big change and sell the Hartge and move on to something I've wanted, Dish and wider. I ran steelies for a while so I could save up some cash I then found a beautiful set of BBS RM's 15x8"
I then went to work polishing and getting them prepped to mount. Wheels came with brand new 195/50 faulkens which was a great plus!
Before
After
Now for the rest.
And after a little more drop
Well thats it for now, I will be driving this as is for the next little while. Current parts on order,
IS Lip
Euro Grills
Euro Kidney
10mm Rear Spacers
Red BBs logos
Skid plate
GC Camber plates
Thanks for checking my car out guys hopefully you all enjoy it, ill continue to keep this thread up to date with everything i get done. cheers!
