E36 Widebody Build

[DER E30]

Hell yeah buddy!!! The only reason the LSX motors aren't creative is because they're so awesome everybody wants one! Just please keep it EFI, 'cause converting to a carb is silly.

It's stupid, I frequently think about how awesome my e30 would be with LSX power, over my M42...

Are those Papier Mâché front-fenders. Hella tight!

This is what I was thinking. haha. Those wheels though... mmmm

[Mark Ostrowski]

last dumb post from me and i promise the next one will be an actual update of real work

color schemes for the wheels which do you guys prefer?


Left: satin black faces, deep root beer metallic lips Right: Satin faces, gloss black lips



also lmk if the photoshop is too dark, my computer has been very weird lately with the moniter colors

[DER E30]

What kolor is the car going to be? Are you going for a murdered out look? I've never liked black wheels of any kind ('cause there's no contrast, esp. on a black car) but I like the satin with deep root beer lips...

[244Brick]

I like the Left one!!!!

[SOLARSUPLEX]

I never venture into this site further than the wheel classifieds. But today its too cold to go change some brakes so im sitting inside drinking... probably on my 5th cup of coffee reading this thread.

Good god im happy this is happening.

As for wheel color, have you seen the bronze/copper finish that work has put out lately. That could look good if you are going for the root beer color on a darker face wheel.

At first I was like .....now I'm like ! Keep it up man. Looks bitchin'

[Tuck&Poke]

I would pick a color for the car first and then pick a wheel color.

lol I guess I should've clarified, I just figured everyone would've assumed by now- white

[DER E30]

Root beer then... Will look badass any wheel kolor though!!!

decided to stop fucking around.

over the years this car has taken many shapes and forms, and could be categorized in a variety of different styles, show car, daily driver, weekend warrior, hellaflush, you name it and chances are this car has gone through that phase. When you take on a project like this there's so much down time involved that your mind begins to wander and you decided to change little bits and pieces here and there until you're so far off the beaten path you can't even remember what kind of car you were building in the first place..

I started this build to end up with a race car, a balls out, no holds barred, straight-up fucking race car- or at least to look like one. and I wanted to be able to wake up every morning and rip through town in a car with a street legality that was most certainly questionable.

that is what i set out to do, and that's what i'll damn well end up with:
