    91 318is with M50 swap

    I dont post to much over here unless Im looking for some info on something or need some help.
    Figure I would post some photos of my car and see what you all think.

    Started life as a 91 318is, Then I came across a M50 so I swapped in the motor with help from a few friends and your 24V Swap section.

    I dont really have much to write about so if you have any questions just ask.
    The interior and some other stuff should be taken care of by the end of the week. I just got to finish covering the rest of the panels.

    on to a shit load of photos and a video at the bottom.

      The last 6 photos are all different.
      Well atleast the settings on the camera was. you have to look close to notice the lighting.

              Not a big fan of the dirt track wheels, but over all looks like a fun project.

                    Thanks everyone.
                    I like the wheels I just wish they offer the 16's with a chrome lip like they do the 15's.
                    I think Im going to widen the rear 2 more inches on the back since I got 3 inches to play with. Then I will be running a 16x8 front and 16x10 rear.
                    in the process of picking up a SC kit and some other little goodies.
                    I have a kirk racing comp cage coming in next week or the week after.
                    I got a OEM taillight panel to replace all the rust around the license plate holes and some other spots.

                    Right now Im sitting on cosmo coilovers and 80% brand new suspension parts.
                    Still got some little things to replace.
                    Right now I have a SSK and its hitting off the e36 drive shaft so Im either going to remove it or make a bracket to raise the shifter arm.
