    MTech 1 restoration with S52

    When I purchased the car, it was wrapped in fibreglass Mtec 2 kit. Besides that car was bone stock (humble m20 with 5speed and cloth interior). It was a 320i.
    This is how it looked when I first purchased.







    Car was hiding a dirty secret, RUST! I knew this. So, scrape to the bare metal.










    Rusted panels were removed and replaced with new sheet metal.


    All Primed




    Engine Bay painted





    Added some extra ponies with S52 OBD 1



    Installed GC adj. kit (Front and Back).. Pictured front only.





    Got rid of the stock interior and done all black upholstery and MTeach seats.
    Rocking the e34 steering.







    End result

















    Thanks for the awesome product Levant.

          Yeah, Front I can lower another 2-3 inches, but not practical to drive around with that much low. I'm afraid front bumper will get the beating.

          For the rear, I am maxed out. I even removed the hight adjuster. Guess I have to get shorter springs from GC.

                So you totally renewed the car. I have always wondered which one is cheaper: Renewing the entire car or buying a new one. :P

                  Nice work!! Looks great.

                  The seats are stunning too. Was it a kit or custom?

                      Seats were reupholstered using custom fabric.
