Since the other thread is way too long, I decided to start fresh with this one since there are couple changes to the car.
For those interested in seeing early stages of the car - click here -> http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=73521
It looked like this when I first got her, cracked dash, worn interior, drum brakes, shitty m10 and all, the list was looong.
After doing full suspension/interior overhaul it now looks like this:
Replaced the seats, e-brake console/e30m3 boot, dash, front/rear glass, front upper headliner piece and installed e30m3 rear shelf since my car does not have a 3rd brake light to name a few major items...the list is too long.
Euro bumpers/valance/euro fogs.
Then finally came the engine swap after the chassis received 325i front/rear brakes, s3.73 diff etc.
Out with the old
In with the new (fully rebuilt 91 b35) - 211?hp/225ft.lb of torque baby :)
A couple things to clean up in the engine bay and under the car (exhaust is hitting against the body on bumps) and the steering rack is making noises so an e36 3.2 lock to lock rack is next on the list along with going back to coilovers and bigger front sway bar. Possibly will remove the s3.73 in favor of s3.46 as the 1st gear is way too short.
Now that the m10 is out of the car and swap is more or less done, I could finally get myself to do something about the looks.
Brand new oem rear valance to clean up the rear of the car is here for $280 shipped :)
Front oem m-technic I valance is on the way from UK. Not new, but looks like it's in good shape for the price of $81 plus shipping :)
Finally a worthy update .
