This car has been an ongoing project for years, it's been white, red, and now black.
I just got finished widening the rear arches, flaring the fronts, adding the cowl hood, and an LTW style spoiler.
Rears are about 3" wider than stock, fronts are just pulled with a light flare with an eastwood roller and some bodywork tools.
The paint needs a massive amount of wet-sanding and buffing as I painted it in a rush in my dusty garage, but I'll get to that eventually.
The car is just a weekend toy for me, I've done a few drift events and I plan on doing more but overall It's just something I built because I wanted to have it.
I've always loved American muscle and my driveway is constantly full of e36s so I mixed the two together to essentially build myself a hot rod on a chassis that I enjoy.
I completely understand the utter disgust that many have when they see this car, and that's just fine. I'm happy with it though, and if I want to drive a BMW that hasn't been destroyed I've got plenty of those.
These are just iphone pictures, someone will probably take good ones eventually.
Basics:
1995 318i
Early Carbureted Chevrolet 350 V8
Camaro t5 manual trans
Welded E36 3.91 Diff
17x9 et -9, 17x 10.5 et -6 (after adapters) Mustang FR500 wheels
And a few in progress photos from the last set of changes...
The unfinished quarter pictures are before rolling and flaring the new metal smooth at the edge.
And this is what I drug home on day one to start this mess....

Enjoy, be angry, whatever you choose!
