    Updatin' thread with text:

    - Ordered E46 330Ci front fenders from autopartswarehouse.com for $140 shipped (for the pair).

    Gonna remove the temp rear fenders I did and weld on (properly) some nice flares, bondo, sand, and repaint. If the rears work well, I'll order another pair and do the fronts (the plan).

    Sweet, no pictures, just updating. Sup.

    Also have had this guy for a while now:







    And picked up this guy a while ago:



    Finally put floorboards in the '64 MGB, it runs really well. Just needs some little suspension bits, new fluid in the shocks, and new front brakes. Already have everything from RockAuto, just waiting to put it all in.



    The barn is getting full (is full):

            We actually don't know. The car was repainted, and has Pacific on the sticker labeling the color. But looking that up doesn't seem to be correct. Still investigating.

              This car falls in the same line as that polarizing M5 powered 635CSi I posted a little while back. Purists will not like this, but…


              Looks kind of LSB. ^Theres an example of a LSB 2002.

                  The shade of blue seems similar, but it's not as dark as LSB.

                    Update on the E30 Fender Flares:

                    - E46 Coupe front fenders from AutopartsWarehouse: $130 shipped.

                    Cut off the old temp flares:



                    Prepped new flares for cutting:



                    So excited to get something properly molded:



                    Old vs New. Left lots of excess in the initial cut:





                    First test fitting. Not too concerned about distance between fenders yet (in this photo), just wanted to see how much work was ahead of me.



                    [imghttp://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr48/drboboh/D48D4D9A-EF00-412E-9EF6-1CE12FB3F21A_zpsygcc7jjj.jpg[/img]




                    Dropped the fender much more this time, still keeping the shape of the fender with the arch on the body. Starting to look super good.






                    The final result of the fenders on each side is about two fingers width between the top part of the fender and the tire. This is with 15's, and on HR Race springs. This is plenty of room for beefy tires, 17's, and many other combos (while still looking relatively stock). Gonna get these welded up soon, bondo, sand, then I really want to do the fronts as well since these turned out so well. Also, these fenders still have a small lip in the inside that will get rolled.

                    Do it.

                          Wasn't as clean as you think. I used a butter knife.
