    April 2022 Car of the Month: Phoenixrot 323i

    ***Editors Note: I've been sitting on this project car for a while now. I totally got screwed on the paint work so I've lost motivation. Car was a roller when I got it, and is still pretty much a roller. I was waiting for the right time to reveal it and today is the best day for that. Rolled it out to get some decent pics, but the lighting wasnt the best. Hope you enjoy!***

    Color: Delivered in Alpine White

    Interior color: Black

    Wheels: BBS

    Exterior modifications: Repaint in a VW PhoenixRot color from the late 70s/ early80s. Was going for a Jagermeister theme, but lost motivation

    Story behind the car: I found this car as a roller that needed paint. Sent it to the paintshop in the garage and dropped it into a bucket of spare PhoenixRot I had. The body wasnt properly prepped for the paint so a few spots didnt hold too well. The plan was to add the Jagermeister livery to it, but with the crappy paint job I lost interest and life got busy. Today was the best time to show you guys the car... because its April Fools Day.

                  Its interesting how hard they hit on details just to make fitment loose.

                  The series 1 323's weighed in pretty light, this one looks to have lexan windows also.

                  Even looks to have a non cracked dash.

                  And time for the favorite facebook question. Specs on wheels bro?

                  I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

                    It’ll probably go for $125k there I think

                          I was sold until I saw the Alpina air dam. Clearly a rep 🤮
