Thank you man!

Haha yeah, different style for sure! I think I want a little bit of rear neg camber, but I haven't gone for a proper alignment yet so I'll get it all dialled in properly when I get the time

Beautiful!!!

Thanks, I think so too

Looked good before, looks fantastic now!

N'aaawww thank you! These wheels definitely set it off I think!

awesome build, love the attention to details and your photos look great!

Thanks for that, it's good to see when people notice the little details eh?

Hahahahaha - that's my expression all the time

Very nice. I was a little worried with the last set of wheels you had as temporary... but the new setup look stunning.

Also, hats off to you for giving credit to all those who have helped you along the way. That nod of respect is awesome.

Haha thank you man, the I'm so happy with the new wheel set up!

And yeah, definitely man - I really wanted to stress to people that this car was definitely built, not bought, and with that philosophy in mind, there was no way I could've built this on my own. Making good friends along the way is probably the best thing I've gotten out of building cars

Great build so far. In for more updates.

UPDATES 24.04.2016

Been a little while again since my formal forum update (been craaaaaaazy busy) - but for those of you who have been following my social medial channels you'll probably be up to date on what the car looks like at the moment. For those who do not - here is your update!

Since the last photos, I've decided to run my old clear indicators as I felt the amber lights were a little too high contrast for me - I felt this new colour combo suited the car more, so after I popped them on I decided to take a few cheeky snaps here and there.




Being busy with other life stuff was putting me off working on the rear spoiler, however one of my best friends from high school got back in touch with me and reminded me he is a professional automotive painter. So without further delay, we tee'd up a weekend to get some work done on my LTW spoiler.

The LTW spoiler was cracked along the top panel and I hadn't had the time to get around to fixing it and painting it. So on an early Sunday morning my friend Quinton invited me to his workplace, a panel and paint shop to show me how it's done.



Watching a professional fill and bog panels/bodywork was awesome, really shows how amateur I am compared to someone like him. It was great to watch and learn how to best go about fixing things.

Next up was watching him mix up the paint - pretty incredible that a colour that normally appears as 'black' (cosmoschwartz black) actually has a whole bunch of other colours in the mix! Interesting to learn and see!



Next was to watch him prep, and then paint the 4 pieces of the LTW wing. It's great to show the kind of time, effort, and care painters go through to ensure a quality finish.




Quinton really did an outstanding job, couldn't have done anything remotely as impressive by myself! Big props to him and allowing us to use the workshop out of hours to get it done in a morning

The final product - 4 pc high rise LTW, painted, and mounted on the E36:




It has been incredible to say the least, to see my car being shared on various automotive social media channels around the world. The great feedback I continue to receive is what keeps me going!

Next on the list is I'm going to be looking in to making a custom rear diffuser to mount on the rear bumper ...

I'll leave you with a bonus pic of her from the weekend at a friends back yard garage. Watch the forums for a new build thread which will probably be popping up for my friends new E30 project ... it'll definitely be a crowd pleaser



As always, if you're interested in more immediate/day-to-day updates on the build, feel free to follow me on my social media channels as listed in my signature.

P.S. - I've recently launched my website for my photography work! Check it out if you are interested haha www.JWNZofficial.com

PEACE!

Awesome. I know a lot of people disagree but I'm a huge fan of 18's on the E36.
Lots of inspiration here. Just out of curiosity, are you running Megan Racing control arms?

[becausephilchow]

Looks real good right now!

I'd look into dropping the rears a slight bit, that way the fender to rim gap matches front and rear.

Followed you on IG too.

Hey man haha yeah in the past I was pretty firm with staying on 17s, but to be fair, the Felony Form overfenders are shaped just slightly larger than the standard E36 fenders so I felt they fit 18" a little better. Not only that, this work wheel doesn't come in 17"!

Nope, I'm not running Megan Racing control arms, just standard stuff!

Hey man thanks, I agree, but I'm a little worried about potential rim to fender damage, I don't know if I want to risk fiberglass fenders being ruined since it's the only set of Felony Form overfenders in the country lol. So I just run it a tad higher for safety :P Maybe when I go airbags? Haha

And thank you for the follow! I appreciate it
