Constucting an E36

I usually am not a fan of roof racks but that looks super clean. Is the front even lower now?

yep... 2" more. 1" with the smaller front tires, and 1 more inch that I adjusted it to.

Been slacking on the updates....


Lets see......



Oh yeah! went into


Winter mode:





then I went on a Warpath of Destruction


had a lil mishappenenz... balljoints and potholes are a no no.






New inner and outters for both sides:





Then, my car decided that it hadn't been having enough of my money, so like a gold digging ex-wife.... it wanted more. After shaking her ass and making some gawd awful noises doing so, I decided to take it into the shop and start operating on what was a bad rear wheel bearing. I'm becoming a natural now, when it comes to doing E36 rear bearings too.


Remnants of my old rear bearing.


Car was like this for a few hours:






At the same time, I decided to come out of winter mode. Got my O.Z. Canyons, 12mm and 15mm Eibach spacers with extended bolts, and tossed them on as Spring had begun:





Then I cleaned up the interior some. Got a hold of NorthMiller and he hooked it up Gave me black visors and armrest as well as an ///M steering wheel and a bunch of other things:



Since this pic, I have gone back to the factory headunit.





Soon, I will be returning her back into summer mode, as I don't see anyone buying it and I've been getting tired of entertaining lowballers and dreamers. Which means that my 17x8.5 and 9.5 Mittos and CF DTM mirrors will make there way back onto it as well as my headlights.


So........ I Started rebuilding my Inpros that I removed during the winter so road salt wouldn't tear them up:





And so goes the battle... hopefully, I will have it all back to summer mode in the coming weeks.

Loving it looks amazing. You still have the 17" roadsters?

Nah.... Gave them to my younger brother for a low mileage (39k) 98 323 Alpine Vert that he totaled. Now they're on our cousins low mileage (57k) 98 328 Cosmoschwartz vert. Way to stay in the family All 3 cars were 98's too.

Couple for now, as we just did a shoot (not these pics) and those will be out soon. These were shot with a Nikon point and shoot.

Well... haven't been here in awhile, figure I'd update whoever even cares.



I got caught in a freak storm back last Fall, and to make a long story short... My car was a casualty. Hydrolocked/blown Head and a hole in the side of the radiator later, I arrived home.... But my car, well....





















Well.... Some ups and downs later, I decided to just keep it and rebuild.




So.... I picked up another M52 that came with everything! I mean, everything.... alternator, starter, wiring harness, dirt from the 90's...








So I stripped it down....







Cleaned it up a bit...








Decided that wasn't enough.... so I began tearing it down some more and ordering gaskets after gaskets and parts etc... and some more cleaning.















Before:








































After:










Going onto:







I think I'm headed down the rabbit hole.
