    Joel - 89 325i **Wheels + Moar low**

    (most recent pictures at end of thread)
    Picked this one up for a great deal. Rediculously clean interior, paint in great shape, motor still running strong. No major project plans as I don't have the means or know-how but I'll be making some sort of progress as time goes on.

    5 speed
    237,000k
    power windows
    receipts back to original owner

    currently:
    3.73 lsd
    H&R sports
    Bilstein sports
    E30 M3 rear swaybar (14.5mm)
    houndstooth sport seats (from low-mileage euro spec car)
    mtech 2 steering wheel (370mm)
    Abraham black kidney grille
    OEM Euro grille
    OEM shadowline trim
    OEM iS spoiler
    NA plate filler
    Roof carrier

    plans:
    euro trim
    iS front lip *done*
    iS skirts
    smoked turns *done*
    Remus exhaust (catback)
    wheels *done*
    drop hats *done*
    hid lows *done*
    lamin-x *done*

          thanks man! yea I've been toying with the idea of a fairing, not sure which one to go with though. Anything in mind other than a thule? Inspiration is always a good thing!

            ^might even fab up a wooden one... might fit nicely, might be too much.

                            it sits in the gutter rails and then the clamp pinches it to the rail.

                              hahah, yea that wouldnt've been the most attractive way to do it. It would be unique though. But yes, just for the staining process. hahah and thanks eh
