    Please ditch the wheels and get something smaller and better looking. Think weaves of some sort.

    I would do proper coilover suspension first, then bodywork. Get the car to drive well, then worry about looks.

    Also, ditch that wagon on the roof, please.
    Adjustable ride height and variable spring rate on demand. The wagon was the best part of that picture!

    You do realize that since the early 2000s BMW has been using airbag suspensions from the factory on all the larger and top line bmws, right?

    He could get a full system out of an x5 and still be 100% bmw factory parts...

          Get a decent suspension and then sort out the body work. Bumpers would be a big improvement, the car at least deserves that.

          I'm not big on the scene look you have going on now, but it's your car.

                Maybe you should just wreck it. That would be SO original. Just think of how original and ironic you will be to all your rusted out vw hipster buddies.

                      Sorry I don't have a stick up my ass and can think outside the fucking box. I got the car with 4 different wheels, all tires rubbing, blown head gasket and blown shocks. So excuse me for using wheels that I got from a friend, that happen to fit a car 30 years older than them AND being original at the same time. The wagon is a joke, that apparently you posh waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless can't handle. So yes, in time the car will become something special. But for now I daily drive it the way it sits and I'm happy with it. If you don't have input on my original question don't put in your two cents because in reality, no one gives a shit about you. You tell me to grow up? Why don't you stop bashing my thread. That's immaturity if I've ever seen it.

                              That would be first on my list. Second, ditch the wagon and the sled, it's not like they are original, it's been done to death. Why? Because it's easy. I see potential here. The body looks straight.

                                I'd do the body work first. Then put a stock suspension back under it till a proper suspension can be had to get to where you want the ride height.
