My Purple Girls Car

Nice compact but that E30 man

looks good so far and these go very well with the 2.8 swap

Sold my old bagged E30 daily:


and needed a replacement daily driver so I went and saw my mate at a local BMW wreckers and told him I wanted to get an E36 compact, but it needed to be a technoviolet Msport manual 318ti (pretty picky i know). He looked at me with a bit of a grin and showed me something on the local salvage auctions:



So he ended up bidding on it for me and I won it for $500AUD ($380USD) and it arrived at the workshop a few days later.



There was a bit more damage than I first thought and the radiator support was slightly bent. I ended up having to replace the bonnet, RHS headlight, nose cone, kidneys and repaint the front bumper.

As it was the day I got registration on it:



The car drove nicely and I resisted buying anything for it for about 3 days. Ordered a set of Fortune Auto coilovers specced to Broadway Static valving and 12kg/16kg springs. A few days later bought some wheels on Ebay UK and it was now down to waiting for it to all arrive.

Coilovers in, guards rolled and wheels on (Remotec A 17x9 +8 all round with 5mm spacer rear because i went too far with the roll lol)



Added some more camber on the front and just need to setup the front alignment now (has huge toe out)







Now I have pulled a 2.8L M52 to swap into it along with an Mcoupe LSD to make the car a bit more fun, looking to drop it in during the next few weeks
