E36 Widebody Build

[PHAS3D]

Holy goddamn batman. This is the most beautiful thing i've seen.

[Mark Ostrowski]

Alot has been going on in the past few weeks and i wanted to wait until i had something worth posting, so here goes.

Before we left off a few weeks ago the valve cover came off



as i had other plans for it that involved lots of sandpaper and polishing compound in my basement



A mysterious package arrived





And soon after the bumper was removed as well



latex gloves were purchased



and work continued under closed doors as i frankensteined my own bumper













thoughts? oh and ignore the cardboard shoved in the left vent, that was just there for mach-up purposes

I don't want to come off as a dick, but if you read everything in between the pictures you can tell that he knows what needs to be adjusted, fitted, and tweaked to make everything fit right. He explains why the eye lids don't fit correctly and how they are gonna be fixed. Any way, I just wanted to say that I really like the whole thing and have you decided on a paint color yet?

im sorry man but it looks really bad, and like sean said tossed together. i really dont want to be an ass but this is the worst widebody and you are seeming to be way to lazy and sloppy i mean come on man head lights are like 5 min to do.
is the rear half of this kit on yet? the eyelid completely dont go with the body kit and i usally like the eyelid (IMO they give the e36 a more aggressive look almost mz3 coupe like)
dont get me wrong your build is coming along nicely it almost seems like your going many directions with it though

hey do you still have the oem 15's? id like em if you do

yeah but i use them for my winter tires

and sorry about the mulitple posts...i don't know why its not merging them

[Mark Ostrowski]

Your car is coming along nicely! Will be looking in on this build along the way!

So sorry to hear about your friends dad! Allways sad when people get taken away too soon.

thanks man, yeah it sucked

[Mark Ostrowski]

Based on this picture, it looks like everything fits really bad. It looks very thrown together.

nah don't worry, its just an issue of that one corner, because i had to push the whole quarter forward, once it is replaced with real corners it won't be an issue, also i have been too lazy to put the bracket that locks the hood down on that one side thats why everythings off, the headlights are also not even bolted down fitment is there, just have to tighten a few things and remove those false corners, see sig below and previous update for what the fitment really is like

hmmm kindof dusty around here....i guess i should brush off some of these cobwebs with an update

lets see, where do i start..how about here:



SOLD!!....oops so back to stockers while i scramble for some ZKW's

what else? well i do have a few surprises in the works however you guys will have to wait a bit before i reveal them. On that note, respray:



yummy...that was like two weeks ago, more recently i finished these:





Street sweeper clearance shot (don't mind the right headlight/eyelid fitment, its just an issue of the false corner, which will be cut out for real corners and problem solved)



also note that the eyelids are not fully installed in these pictures, just taped on in 10 seconds to check to make sure i like the look, they will be permanently installed when i order new headlights





Soo...that does it for today will have a lot more updates in the coming days because my finals will be over and the parts i ordered will be coming in. Things have just been a little hectic because my buddy's (the one who helped me weld up my exhaust on previous update) dad was killed in a car accident about 3 days ago and it's really kindof made the week shitty

[Quail@Drifted]

Love the BTCC vibe this has! We need updates!

[sinsimma]

I like what I see so far. Anxious to see future updates.

[ItsDooDoo]
