    My 318iS's "debut" photoshoot.

    Nothing glamorous here, just some standard issue shots to show whats on the burner. Finally got it in shape enough to warrant some pictures.

    Mods thus far are pretty simple. BOSCH euro ellipsoids, smoked to replicate HELLA's technique and smoked front turn signals.

    The body is clean and straight, save for the front valance that has seen better days. It is a good clean slate to build off of....

        is this going to be just a daily driver or do you have plans for this in the future? Nice platform!

            Let see.. plans... the list of maintenance that needs to be done is about a mile long. The entire suspension needs to be overhauled. New CA's, tierods, all bushings, shocks, struts, mount.. everything.

            I have most of a M-Technic II kit sitting in my closet, rear bumper/apron, sidepanels/skirts. I just need the wing and the front bumper cover. When all that goes on the car is anyones guess though.

            I'll be converting the engine to Coil On Plug ignition sometime this week when the parts get here and then leaving it pretty much alone while I start doing suspension work.

                    actually that might be where my son threw up.

                        Better get that Mtech 2 stuff on there fast. It has contrast.

                          Looking forward to your meticulous OCD standards to look to as guidance and inspiration, as always.

                          I guess I should get my M-Tech II kit on too, shouldn't I? ;)

                            looks pretty decent. how's the interior?

                              Interior is nearly perfect, blue cloth aside. Just needs some minor retrim to the inside of the drivers side bolster. Could use a new shifter knob, and a glove box handle.
