No one's here with the intent of shitting on your thread (at least I'm not). The fact that you made a build thread means you want people to look at what you're doing and offer advice, criticism, and/or commentary. If you don't want any of that, you don't need to update the thread, a build thread isn't a necessary part of a badass car.
I think you would get much better reactions if you took a little more time with your posts, and made sure to spell everything correctly and punctuate your sentences. Over the internet, there's no way to interpret tone, so all the reader has to go off of is the way you present your information, and therefore yourself. If you type like a 5 year old, we are left with no other option but to believe that's how you really talk/think, given no other information to the contrary. If you act like you have control over the English language, then maybe people will be more inclined to think you know what you're doing with your cars.
tl;dr Don't type like a fool.1991 318i SOLD

I don't see how control over the English language has any relevance to the outcome of my fabricating or mechanical abilities. This website is for cars and the building and sharing of information on that subject. If i wanted to spend more time out of my day typing everything grammatically correct I would go to a forum for English majors. I don't ever have time to be on the computer so most of my updates come via cell phone. My fingers are too wide to type everything perfect when I'm using buttons the size of a pea, Nor do I care to go back and fix everything. But to paraphrase you, in that it is your belief that in order for people to "take my build serious" I must type everything out so you can tell what tone is intended and have everything polished; then so be it. I will try my best to be as scholarly as possible.Comment

I'm just saying, the majority of the time when you talk with someone in person you can tell if they know what they're talking about from their tone and body language, right? Well, on forums, those forms of communication are nonexistent.
It's completely up to you. If you enjoy the harassment, then by all means, feel free. But I think if you took the time to communicate more clearly you may get more positive feedback.1991 318i SOLD

Its just confusing to me that the way I type has any merrit to the work that I have presented. I clearly am not asking any questions im proceeding with my work because i know what I want and I know what I'm doing. Though it is constant criticism from people such as yourself on the work anf ideas i have. Especially when they are comments that are coming from people who clearly dont know what they are talking about. I havent "bragged" about anything I have done. Am I proud of it? Yeah anytime you can dedicate this much work into something that is a passion you will be. I have done a lot of work on steves old e46 and you naysay. "Bragging about a car that is bought" screw you man I have a lot of hard work in that car. Just as I do the e30Originally posted by unevolved View PostComment

Just remember this is a build. Nothing is set in stone until its finished. I could decide tomorrow hey screw the wide body I want a limo that's pink and has a hot tub in the back; but until I actually do it its just something on the drawing board. If you aren't interested in seeing changes or hearing ideas I have then don't read them. And that goes to anyone who has issue with they way I operate. This is my car, Ill do as I please. But that doesn't mean I wont post updates for anyone interested in whats changing.Comment

Guys... it's just spelling... seriously.
Granted though, this forum does have spellcheck... but really, when I see updates on this thread, I'm very disappointed to find it's people bitching about spelling instead of real updates. Namely pictures of a widebody conversion. Just sayin.
I wasn't the author of that thread - I wish I was though. That's one kickass car. Also, zero plastic/fiberglass fabrication experience on this end.Originally posted by Perry Wilson View PostComment

oic. well I will be getting going on the wide body more soon. I'm waiting on my other three bbs to come back from the sand blaster so I can reassemble them. Then Ill start chopping up the rear.Originally posted by jalopi View PostComment

So do you see yourself trying to make a mould of the fenders? Not sure if I would do so with the quarters since that would involve chopping, welding, then chopping again, but the fenders do bolt on/off. What's the worst that could happen?Comment

I wish the pictures worked for me. I can't see them in chrome or IE. Stupid work computer.

Whats your plan as far as flaring the rear fenders? Similar to the e28? I like what you did with the front, I could dig something similar, maybe not as wide but I do like the look. Reminds me a bit of the BRS body kits:

Yeah I'm going to leave it open like the e28... but I would like to vent the front opening out through the top of the rear flare right over the tire. Then vent the rear with some quarter window nacaductsOriginally posted by IronFreak View PostWhats your plan as far as flaring the rear fenders? Similar to the e28?
