[AtlantisTouring]

Im working on an update for you guys, hopefully i'll have it live later on tonight.

stay tuned

[I_Haz.:R32]

Can't wait to see it! There is some truly lovely stuff going on here. I agree on the rear fitment, from the back it looks a bit off, I'm sure you'll correct that in a very tidy fashion.

So lets get started

after i fitted up the new wheels, they were taken off a coulpe of weeks later for some rust issues this car has had and that have always bugged me.

Stripped down and back on its 32's

They could have been patched up but i found this much more satisfying than bodging it up

The i addressed to the arches...

Got lots more to post but i thought id do it in stages rather than overload it.

PS MODS - Sorry about my image sizes, first time using Flickr. I shall downsize the next lot

Let me know what you all think!

[Mehowski]

holy shit that rear fender looks nuts man, this thing is gonna be wide

sort of reminds me of that Polish E34 touring which has a build on here

also the image sizes are nice!

[AtlantisTouring]

Yeah bro they're about 25mm wider on each side so should be plenty of space in the arches.

Sealing the arches as we speak. Just having a break to let the etch primer go off.

[Minuki]

Nice progress man. Very keen to see how the arches turn out.

Thanks for the pic!

Cheers Scott

My favourite touring..

Thanks bud, should be able to get front end stripped off this weekend and bolt up the new wings and bonnet to see how they fit. if they're all good ill take them off and flush the side repeaters on the wing and weld the new bonnet so its badgeless. Just need to find a donor door and a bootlid and shes ready to go back down to metal.

[Mehowski]

is it an oem bonnet or something different?

keen to see the front wings too!

[AtlantisTouring]

oem just with smoothed badge bro

[AtlantisTouring]

Wings got test fitted today to check how they line up.

Fitted well, I then loaded the daily up with the wings in the back and went to work to weld them up

Sealer is now going off so will give it 24hours before i start doing some filler work, id have liked to do a butt joint for the indicator flush but was worried i'd blow holes and it would cause more crap with filler work.

Awesome work going into this mate, can I ask is that an aftermarket CSL style E36 front bumper or an original bumper fabricated to look like the CSL with the air vent added and brake ducts deleted?
