Third e36 build thread.
Story time.
With only about ten coupes in all of Faroe Island. Yes you read that correctly, only ten. When one pops up for sale, its important to take the chance. I've bin trying to get a hold of one for about a year.
This one was bought from a friend, that hit a wall with it, smashed the front end on the right side so it needs a bit of work. Its a 320i mauritusblau.
Plan is
-New hood (ordered)
-New front fenders (ordered)
-New front bars, that hold the lights (ordered)
-New cross bar (ordered)
-New bumper (ordered)
-Misc parts (ordered)
etc etc, all bought from a BMW dealership.
-Full respray
Mods that i have.
Stance|Works zero clearance coil overs
AC Schnitzer Type I racing
Vorshlag camber plates
E46 M3 rear shock mounts
Z3 rear shock plates
Picture time.

Car up in the bench, you lock the car to the bench, then you take a measuring sled, slide it under. afterwards you build up these measuring points, shown in the next picture.
You can also see how of the right side is.
DSC00791 by Djurhuus zic, on Flickr
shown here, are the measurements, you set up a zero point, and everything works of there. You can either chose the front or the rear, in this case its the rear that is gonna be the zero point.

with everything setup, its time to start pulling. you can see those vertical bars in front of the car, those are measuring points, you can see the right side not lining up.
When the chain is tight and pulling the metal, you need to bash it with a hammer, to take out the stress in the metal.
