    I'm the early US model playin' the euro JDM model, disguised as a late model!!

    The car was actually supposed to begin paint prep this last week, but that didnt happen. So I tossed some bumpers on it and a few trim peices, and headed to the picnic. Will be color changed, and full M-tech1 within a couple months.

    Quick teaser pic... while I steal shots of this project from other members at the picnic...

            I really, really, reaaaaalllllllly hope you actually did a 5-lug swap JUST for those wheels and that you are not running adapters.

            Cuz that would be fuckin awesome. lol

            I like it, kinda looks like a 510, but not

              I would never use adapters. Full e30 m3 suspension with GC coilovers are on board. I actually swapped the 5 lug from my 24v car when I sold it in order to lower the proce to what the buyer wanted to pay. The only complete 4 lug I had was on this sedan, so I just flip flopped them. Now I have a 5 lug 4 door 3 series. lol

              BMW OEM Steel wheels that I had widened to 17x8.5 et22 with a 3mm spacer bringing them to et19 on factory arches and fenders.

                I've been looking at that rack, how good is it at holding things, like does it have any strength?

                      those rims strikingly resemble peugeot steelies, or volvo steelies, also in similar dimensions. I like, I like.

                        I really enjoy looking at the light "theme" you got there. Love the yellow lights with the startec rear.

                        Very nice and I see alot of potential. Post a build thread!

                          having a hard time deciding if I like the fender mirrors.
                          and I love fender mirrors on oldschool jdm cars.

                          love the rest of it for sure though. thought about getting a set of those same steelies.

                          can't wait to see it with the Mtech on. what color are you changing to? I vote you keep it alpine...

                            Jesse30 and I did what your thread title states once. Nice looking car. I know that it will come together the rest of the way soon.
