My New Topless Babe

Bonjour tout le monde,

My name is Ben from Quebec.

I've been on S/W for a while now and thought i'd start a little build thread to keep track of my progress. Nothing huge but i'll try doing the best i can with my low student budget.

My first car was a 2002 b5.5 1.8T Passat wagon that i sold before winter because i was ready for something new.

After that i bought my e36 boston green 328ic vert that i can't wait to really start working on. Winter last forever this year

but we're almost there. Almost a virgin to rust, which is rare as rocking horse sh*t up here and the interior is close to mint. Really happy with the overall condition of the car. Has 170xxx Kilometers (105xxx miles) on it by now.

So here is how it sits right now

I've been changing small things on it since i bought it but working when it's cold outside sucks. As you can see on the picture, i bought a used set of tails and shaded the amber red . Pretty happy with the result, at least until i get a set of oem clear tails.

Also changed the long, ugly oem antenna. My buddy gave me an antenna thats was on a toyota or something, bolt on

Finally something interesting for you guys, bought a set of Broadway Coilovers that arrived last week at my house

Figured if i wanted some good low without breaking everything on our shitty canada roads, i had to go with something pretty stiff. I'll only be putting those on the car in a month or so because i want to drive it stock a bit to see how it handles (first BMW).

Anyways, up next is
- Deep cleaning inside and out
- Replacing plastic window because it's cracked
- Wheels
- non-m lip

and other sh*t

peace yo
