    Yeah, I could also bolt some fender flare. Would be faster and easier.

    Not sure about the look...

    S50E30 Project

    Hi everybody!

    I'm pretty new on this forum. I just bough myseft a great toy that needs a lot of love. Still not sure of what I will exactly end up with, but it should be interesting!

    It will be my summer/track car. (We have a lot of snow in Quebec...)

    The guy had built this for track purpose but he never finished the project. A bit too hardcore for me. (no heater, no windshield washer, no door seal... etc)

    The Body is a 325es and was repainted in 2003 I think. The car still look "clean", but there was a lot of rust hole that were filled with welded plates mainly on the floor, trunk, firewall. I don't really like repainted body, but I didn't bough the car for its body!

    Here is the fun part: MODS!

    Brand new wheel: Keskin KT1 17x10 and 17x8.5
    35mm spacers
    Tire toyo RA1 255/40/17 and 235/45/17
    TMS solid subframe bushing (Not installed)
    solid diff bushing TMS


    The car has a lot of problem to fix before it will actually roll...

    Step 1: Get the car waterproof
    - fix the sunroof DONE
    - fix the power window (jammed in opened position) DONE
    - Need a new fuse box FIXED
    - Add some door seels DONE

    Step 2: Get the main electric stuff working
    - Headlight IN PROGRESS
    - trun signal IN PROGRESS
    - windshied washer DONE
    - sunroof CANCELLED
    - windows IN PROGRESS
    - Sort all the wires under the dash IN PROGRESS

    Step 3: Fender must fit the wheels
    - Mold a "universal wide fender kit" (bimmershop.ca)

    note: I'm not sure about that, but the fender are already cut...

    Question:
    Does 10" wide wheel fit on the rear without spacer?
    Does 8.5" wide wheel fit on the front without spacer?

    Step 4: Interior "restoration"
    - Don't know what I will do...


    I also don't know In which step the heater and venting system will installed...




    As you can see: WIDE WHEELS!



    NEED A FENDER JOB!





    Need to clean this!







    I will get the car at the end of march... It will be a long wait!

    Please comment and/or give me some tips!


    Should be a long Project...!
