    One man Alone

    my build.. one car garage.. two hands.. hand tools, fuck the world!

    the day i got it..

    super clean 84 325e


    as it was..


    after GC coil over conversion..



    still waiting on my camber plates.. GC kinda dropped the ball on shipping them to me, but i aint mad cause he's been alot of help with me calling every two seconds asking the dumbest of questions.. so i have the canmber plates and new rear shock mounts to install beofre i bring it back home.. gas is $3.25/gal. and going up so i gotta hurry up so i can park my truck for the summer!

    anyways a few more.. anyone have any wheel ideas throw them at me, also any suggestions for a brake upgrade those will be my last few additions.. also looking at radios if anyone has suggestions!

                    Pretty decent . . . . for an eta. :p
                    Looks like you are off to a good start.

                    You may want to shadowline the window trim. Looks like at some point the rr window was replaced with a later model one with the black trim.

                          Keep at it dude, i've done my m50 swap with little help and no air tools, in a one car garage.


                          Just gotta keep at it, great job!

                              Keep it moving. There's some better wheels than Sportmaxx kicking around for roughly the same price.

                              Your car looks like a fantastic start.
                              Need a part? PM me.
