Project: Budget Beater

[Budget Beater]

Update: full grille painted...

Hey guys, Finally finished off the grille. I only had about half a can left so i only did about 4-5 coats on the headlight grilled but the results are still very good and im happy with the results. it REALLY cleaned up the front end and makes it look newer. Gonna let the stuff dry for 7 days before i drive the car again to ensure it has fully cured and bonded to the plastic (can says it takes 7 days). Anyways enjoy the pics :) .

yup. turning the E30 world on its ear with that one....

The grilles really distract you from the fact that someone took a sledgehammer to the front end.

I'd love to hear the details of those 'sponserships', and while we're on the topic, why do cheap mods if you're 'sponsored'?

I was wondering the same.

I think the point of this project is to church the car up enough that he can sell it for a crown payment on a lease for a Tiburon.

Actually i just sold the E36 M3 to get E55 AMG, but nice try charlie.

The grill looks much better so im happy with it. ya i know the front end is chipped up pretty bad but u have to remember this is arizona: stone chip capital of the world. The desert sandblasts your car, theres not much u can do about it. I already got some touch up paint and filled in all the stone chips. it looks good now.

I was refering to the bent up front valance and generally haggardness of the front end... wait, the whole car.

Does the front valence cost more than 50 bucks?

(yes, yes it does)

why would you do such wrong thing?

[Charlie]

Because he is obviously a woman that cannot handle a proper manual gearbox. We're talking Jimmy Warren-level shit here.

I'm over the BMW thing for a while, i need something different, something with some real torque. I want a good luxury muscle car cruiser so thats what i chose, E36 was one headache after another... actually most bmw's in general are one headache after another, never had any major problems with any of my benzes

Dammit, I agree with him.

That being said, I'd probably go with jap cars before a German Buick.

High res pictures of the sweet new grilles?

I don't need no German Buick. I drive a Le Sabre for that.

my e36's have been very good to me for the time i have owned them.

Actually, I think it's Audi first before they realize those are utter, steaming abortion-worthy turds, then Benzes.
