Project SmurfShark - BMW e24 Build

I snapped some pictures at my cousins new shop Royal Crown AutoWorks / NT Paint and Body. I highly recommend them, they did an amazing job on my paint. They'll also be doing my euro bumpers conversion.

As of yet I'm still to start the actual work. I have been just hoarding parts for the swap and I am looking for a donor car to cut up and take what I need in terms of the tranny driveshaft ect... But once I have a good candidate I want to document the build too. As of right now it's the project is on winter break. Not to long though...

No still the same username but I see why you think that from Jaebirds post.

Oh alright dude haha. Have you made any progress on the euro conversion?

Some time finally opened up so going to start working on the bumper conversion now.

I'm just about done refinishing the spoiler so that should be going on soon.

This is looking great. I was not too keen on the colour to start with but now I think it looks great!

Well done.

Thanks man. I rolled the dice at the paint shop but am happy with the outcome.

I decided to go with another Euro bumper instead of the one I posted earlier. This one is cracked in 3 pieces with $hit paint and bondo BUT it has fog lights so I'm sucking it up and making it work!

I also decided to hold off on the epsilon build and picked up AC Schnitzer type 1's to build. I'm currently getting the faces brushed and the humps on each spoke polished. Will be stepping them up to 18x11 4" lip in the rear and 18x9.5 3" lip.

Pics coming soon!

Glad to see you making progress but I have to say im bummed you wont be running the epsilions for some time. I love those wheels. But the type 1's will suffice in the mean time.

Yeah I'm looking at 4+ month's to build the custom lips to step it up to an 18" or just 2 weeks to build the type 1. I'd miss a lot of shows in that time.

I hear ya. Are you at least going to do a euro conversion before then? I'd **** for you to have all this custom work done and no bumper conversion.
