New fender, finally :)

[equate975]

Got a new fender finally, came in 2 days ago and I was cleaning up a bit of rust on the bottom. Only $125 and it was the color I needed.

It got to dark for me to see what I was doing so I didnt get it fully mounted. But it fits good :)

Gah, sorry for not hosting on my webserver, it seems to be down.

Its lacking a pinstripe though :(

Has a little noticable surface rust on the wheel well, but I am going to have to roll it and the car is getting a respary this summer. So that will all be taken care of

Bit of body work a respray. She'll be good as new then.
How many miles on her? Any more pics?

[equate975]

Yeah, LOTS of body work lol

214k on the car, 80k on the new engine.

I have TONS of pics, but they are all on my server, which seems to be down. I will go to work tommrow and see whats up and post a link here

This is one of my better pics, I suck at photography, and my wheels are turned the wrong way.


And then my car and garage ganster raped.

That's what come on them dude. 14's look pathetic on your 318, mine too.

yeah hopefully I am getting 16's...the stockers just seem soo small :-| I think most people could use bigger wheels...most of us

[equate975]

Thats not my house, its my neighbors I live at the end of a culdesac im to the left.

Anyways, I dont like anything bigger than 16's on e30 personally. The Koseis came with the car when I bought it, the gold baskets have winter tires on them

Anyways, I got some 17" e36 LTW reps that are going to go on because I am going to use e36 m3 brakes, *some* 16s will clear the new rotors but not all of them. Just so I didnt run into problems I got 17's

[asubimmer]

thats gonna be awsome

[equate975]

Yeah I need to sell my Borla so I can buy some tires!

going to run Sumitomo HTRZ II's 235/40/17 all around

E36 M wheels look like they belong on E30 M's as well.
Your car looks in dire need of a respray, it will sure look nice with new paint. What do you mean when you say 'new engine'? I'd like details if possible.

[equate975]

"new" as in new to me :)

put a s52 in it.

The road cracked my oil pan, and the original engine had 214k on stock pistons. I figured they were pretty well shot. I wanted to do a 2.5 rebuild but it was horribly expensive, and the s14 is very expensive to maintain.

I was against putting anything but a s14 for a long time, but after weighing all the costs and since this is a daily I decided to basterdize myself from the s14 purists and throw a s52 in it.
