so i saved from my job for about 2 years and bought my first 91 318is for 1500 :p

it was a pretty good price for it in the condition it was in,had a/c and new tires with an alignment. Shortly after this my friend sold his swapped car and bought his boat![Cool](https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/core/images/smilies/cool.gif)

His first idea was 5 lug

then came time to start swapping !!
![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8022/7563734892_817affbeaf_o.jpg)
came out pretty dope !
![](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7268/7563735396_6f75516b4a_o.jpg)
finally ordered my coils and came out to a very nice height
![](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7251/7563738476_3d910b3623_o.jpg)

![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8155/7563739676_b8f8d97461_o.jpg)
so then a couple months past and my 1.8 started knocking and draining oil and burning a quart of oil every 3 days. so i had to sell before something else went bad cause i didn't have the money atm to fix her up :/. so i sold her and said my goodbyes </3
![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8422/7563739936_46fa28d46a_o.jpg)
so i bought my good friends rebuilt m20 and had fun with it for a while until the tranny blew out on me and got stuck in a gear -__-
![](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7256/7563740496_94b7a36887_o.jpg)
took out the engine and was on the way of putting a new one in.
![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8151/7563740934_1ea7b8984a_o.jpg)
finally she was done and back on the road :) !
![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8150/7563741942_034500bc77_b.jpg)
BUT with my luck 2 months later and old bitch ran a STOP sign and ruined my quater panel :/
![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8143/7563742300_9a2fd862b5_b.jpg)
![](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7262/7563742464_94bc4bc8ce_b.jpg)
so finally i replaced the trailing arms, the old one was bent luckily i found one off of craigs. so this is how she is sitting now while i save money and repair her battle scar. i hope everyone enjoyed my little story ! ;)
