[catchuk]

that bbs kit was pretty sweet

[revhead888]

yea the biggest shame was ruining the bbs kit... so rare :(
wasn't the best fitting kit, but i was soo cool


anyway on to changing the insides of the panda.

[TexasTerp]

damn nice work on the panda! I hate to see that BBS setup destroyed. can't wait to see more!

[TheB1G Lebowski]

Keep the trailer hitch, thats pimpin.

[CorvallisBMW]

So sad!!! I'm bummed to see a beautiful car like that wrecked, but good to see you've moved on :)

[Holland]

Black below the bumpers and trim, RS Wantanabe's, drop, and fast engine. You know you should do it. :D

[deutschman]

the destruction of that bbs kit makes me cry a little. but the new car will be nice. sorry about your bad luck with the old car man. these things happen.

So they sold it back to you ok? Can you get much out of it?

What's in the red one? M20B25?

[revhead888]

If you need any 318 bits I've stripped mine and am selling the drivetrain/suspension :)

/parts pimping

Looks really nice. I wish I'd held out for a white 2dr instead of going for my Delphin.

haha thanks man, but yea i still have my red bmw sitting in the garage full of parts :/
and na man you should be happy delphin's can look hot!

[SamE30e]

Looks like it's going to be good!

Turbo M52 or LS1?

haha i wish, but while im still in University my budget keeps the bmw as a 318i. maybe later down the track i'll do some performance mods


so first thing is first.... the car needed some TLC.
The paint was very badly oxidized when i bought it and i wasn't sure how well it would come up. i didn't pay much for the panda so i wasn't too worried. i was quite amazed by the paint by the end.
bath time for the panda.


it's hard to show the paint condition with the camera... but wasn't pretty.


shows how much it had been washed before.... this happened when i just started washing it


garage full of panda's


debadge


then i cut polished, clay barred, and waxed the panda.


half roof cut polished.


changed the bmw badges of the red e30, the rear taillights, side indicators, front indicators.


55w 6000k Hid's. (soo good for driving at night)



that concludes day #1. Next day will be spent changing interior from the red e30 into the panda.
p.s thanks lyndon for your help
