Introduction and progress(pic heavy)

[PutSomeCheeseOnIt]

whats up guys, I have been lurking around for some time now gathering information and parts since I purchased my car in December 2010!. This site has been really helpful and has provided me with lots of info, I am appreciative and ready to become an active member of the community. So here is a little info on the car and lots of pictures of the progress I have made since owning it, comments, shenanigans, all of it welcome!
I bought this car after my a4 b5 was slammed right into the side of a USPS truck
Sorry for poor quality photos, do my best with what ive got!
87 325e m50 swapped but running rough, open diff, destroyed drivers seat, e34 exhaust , intermittent dash light failure, and tan hounds tooth ftw!












I quickly picked up an i exhaust


then H&R cup kit
And the day after I installed that i decided to put the fenders, bumper and core support to death by hitting a pole after sliding off the road, it was slushy snow and legal speeds I swear.


so the car accumulated body parts



picking it up after the respray, Cloudy day made it look very purple.
Then i picked up a 2.93 lsd :-D and some other goodies


2.5 inch to a soon to be replaced 3inch "muffler"


16x9 ESMs 215/45/16s



Then some how one night i managed to snap the throttle cable right at the peddle? which led to this


next i got the turn signals working

And then she looked like this

and this

and this

And here is a photo from today with a buddy of mine , hope you enjoyed!



I have lots of plans for the car over the winter
so stay tuned

looks a hell of a lot better from when you first got it. Congrats on the car and nice work getting to where it is now.

Looks fantastic! Paint those grills!

Even if you keep the chrome kidneys, paint the rest black, they're faded to shit. The paint makes a huge difference i love it.

[!AjHoWzA!]

Very nice. Looks better now and ya get those grills painted

+1,000,000,000 for Burgundort!
-1,000,000,000 for full shadow line and black kidneys.

Thats one color that really needs some shiny stuff to make it pop!

That's some pretty impressive work considering you bought the car in the future.

every pic after the respray pic is not working for me, i want to see this car!

[BonnschE30]

Womppp my old E car....What happened to the gold 14" BBS weaves? They needed refinished, but looked super dope on that color? Respray and plastics are nice! Looks like you've put some good work into it...

Hell ya man! Whats up, i hoped id get to show you this thing someday, thanks man ive put alot of work into it. Thinking either ground controls or possibly turbo over winter, need to save for college next year though so turbo may not be realistic
..sold the 14s for 100, sorta regret that
