    First Low Euro Project

    Hey guys,

    I'm new to the forum but have been lurking for a while. I know you guys don't want to read a story so I'll keep the intro short and get on the the important stuff.

    I'm just an 18 year old kid that has a love for cars. First car was a Toyota FJ cruiser, then wanted a better offroad vehicle so I bought a 2006 jeep wrangler LJ. Modded that a lot and still love it to do death but gas was killing me and I wanted something low so e30 for the DD it was.

    Enough background and to the car. It's a 1986 325 sedan and the color is bahama-beige. Never seen another car this color and I absolutely love it.

    The car runs and shifts fine but needs a lot of body work which is no big deal
    because my Dad grew up as a fabricator so it's time to teach me.

    Hope that intro wasn't too long and don't blame you if you didn't read.

    I have no idea what I'm going to do with it but I'm just going to go with the flow.

      I'm curious how you could afford an FJ Cruiser at 18.

                I'm just going to say it was really cheap and couldn't pass it up, especially since it's running.

                          Thanks, and I honestly have no idea. The original plan was to just get cheap coilovers, lower it as much as possible, fix the dents, do cheap and unique mods, and drive it as a DD to save gas. The more I look around on here the more I want to change those plans and actually put money into her.

                            I hope by "cheap" you mean like BC Racing or something. They'll set you up to get your car really low, but I'd contact them first to tell them your plan so they can work with you to make sure you're getting what you need. I wouldn't do any cheaper than BC. It's not easy getting these cars low from what I can tell.

                              Was thinking about GC but honestly I'm not trying to spend a lot on this car right now so I might just go with some JOM ones.
