A little update, the car is almost ready to be plated and driven. I need to get a few things done in order to get the car appraised and plated.
My old fuse cover was pretty much nasty, replaced that along with relays and fuses.
Before
Old fuses
Clean,
The previous owner used ducting pipe as the air hose connector between the headlight cover and intake box. I found one at the junk yard.
And stupid me didn't realize 325 differs from the 318, damn.
Old obc,
Replacement,
Broken sunroof crank,
Replacement,
Harness cover installed,
Now for the wheels, they say you should calculate before you put a setup together...I didn't do much of that...if any at all. Just figured this would work. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
And ruined tires,
You decide if it works.Last edited by Tuee; 06-02-2012, 08:01 PM.

I assume BBS RC090, but what tire size and adapter thickness are you running? I think they look fantastic by the way. :up:

Yep they're rc090's, tires I believe are 205/45/17 and the adapters are 18mm. I need to really roll my fenders as they're currently sitting on the tires .

im looking to do the same wheelset with an AW 318is... same adapters as well.
THE BIG QUESTION:
Do you think you can get away with just fender rolling or do you think you will have to pull them to really get away from tire rub...
Let me know your thoughts.
Awesome resto btw... really admirable jobLast edited by quillbro; 06-20-2012, 01:59 PM.
