  • My Project Beater E30 Build

    Picked up the car for $480, ran great but had all kinds of little shit that needed fixing.

    For instance I had to completely reassemble the dash and center console, rewire the wipers and horn, fix the head and taillights...shit like that.

    The PO decided to rattlecan it flat black because the stock paint was peeling. So that also entailed me spending several hours scraping the over-spray off all the glass since he didn't mask off ANYTHING!

    Well, so far I have cleaned up the interior where its spotless,

    added some tan leather sport seats, front and back

    painted the stock bottlecap wheels. They were in horrible condition so might as well make em look decent till I can get my good wheels.

    Tucked the bumpers

    added a Zender front vallance and side skirts

    French style yellow highbeams

    euro style grills

    Blacked out Kidney Grills

    Ordered a true euro plate

    Ordered this roof rack just a couple minutes ago


    Bought some Racing Dynamics springs.

    Ordered E90 drop hats

    Ordered a Wink 5 panel mirror to sticker bomb..lol

    and will be soon ordering new racing control arms/ball joints

    KYB struts

    full urethane bushings

    And I am going to be stripping the paint, doing the body in a professional coat of flat black and then rusting the hood.

    Changing out to all B&W BMW emblems.

    And here she is as she sits! The springs and drop hats will take care of all the wheelgap so that front end will probably be about an inch off the ground. Eventually I will be raising the engine and adding a skidplate and going with either coilovers or airride.

                      Bumper is tucked, well, as far back as it will go, The Zender front end goes up behind the bumper so it will only push back so far before it hits it.

                      Get the car dropped today finally though. Shot from a low angle so its looks higher that it is.
