    Progress.... (lots of pics)

    So guys this summer has been a great one for my car. Not so much for my wallet but thats another story. Ive decided to get it to where ive always wanted it to be. Here is what my summer has consisted of...

    Started like this: 91 325i with non-vanos m50, zf out of a 99 328i, all new bushings, brakes, bilstein sports, Triflo cat back. e30 M3 springs and a bunch of little parts.




    The paint was all r3v'd up so that was my next project:





    Then x-mas in july:



    More:




    Three weeks later:





    She comes home tomoro from the real paint shop. Ive painted all the plastic parts and the spoiler. Got my new super long wheel stud kit. New fog light lenses, Sport seats:




    Ill post up pics when its all back together. I really cant wait.

    Enjoy!

    * Yes, my friends think theyre funny and write silly things on my car when im not looking.

      Looking good. Love those wheels and it sounds like you have yourself a pretty sturdy car.

        Same color, schwarz. I was really tempted to change it to diamont but its too much work. My father and i did the whole damn thing. We did a 72 monte carlo last year and it came out pretty straight. Hes done a few cars in his day and i like learning. :)

        The paint ended up costing $700 for them to scuff it and spray it. Ive probably got another $200-300 in all the other b/s. sand paper. filler. primer. rock guard, all that bs adds up.

        Thanks!

          Can't wait to see the end product.

          I know they are BBS but what model, size, offset, and tire size? VERY nice choice!!
