    My 318i M10 "raging avocado"

    Hi guys, i have an 1984 318i and im creating this thread to document my build and ask for help when the need arises. I found this car literally under a tree and "full" of dirt and trash.

    Things done:

    -wash
    -new front suspension parts and brakes
    -repaired instrument cluster
    -repaired the crater in the battery tray
    -Clean and align headlights / backlights
    -clean some rust spots
    -install z3 shifter and my own dssr linkage
    -billy sports + H&R


    Still to do:


    -new backseats seats / seat belts
    -engine
    -paint job

    In the future:


    -poly bushes
    -stainless exhaust
    -saab or volvo turbo


    Heres some pictures:

                                          Avocado because its green and that name just popped in my head :)

                                          The color code its Achatgruen Metallic 177. The exterior of the car is in bad shape and im only gonna repair it and paint it after suspension and engine is taken care of.

                                          Right now Im waiting for my friend to finish milling my DSSR linkage and a few oem parts so I can assemble the shifter ;D;D

                                          Heres a few pics:
