I don't have any quality pics of her yet but this will encourage me. Anyways heres a few pics let me know what you think. I look forward to meeting up with guys and doing events/meets. I am from Nashville TN, so please put me on to any local shindigs/cruises as I see a few TN residing members.







Best of both worlds...


This is Betsy, my 66 Impala sport sedan with numbers matching 327 and powerglide, she is bagged on staggered billet 20x8 20x10 combo plus much more. She is my first car bought her when i was 15. she has been thru hell and back with me. I luv herr.

Here is what she previously looked like before PO scabzzzz thankfully switched out the 16' Borbets to Euroweaves.


and euroweaves

for some updates!

Note broken plastic front bumper. I got an extra one with the purchase of the car and can of matching paint. Thanks OP scabzzzz. He helped me prep and paint it as well. Lost pics of the process but here is the outcome. Just a garage spray. Also put on the euro trim and fogs during all of this. Plasty-dipped the kidney's black as they have a small crack. I like the look but will go back to chrome whenever i get some new wheels.


after that my heat went out. I could bring myself to pay the 300+ for the blower motor so after some freezing and patient I found a almost new one for $60. Installed it the next day. Kinda a bitch with the lack of space.
Time to get to work.


got it out tho.

and the new one in, resistor cleaned.


Spoiler was faded, showing through with red and grey, no pics. Sanded it down, cleaned trunk deck, sprayed spoiler and re-installed. Then I gave here a full detail.The car is overall pretty fresh now.

beautiful car dude



Out of the few 318is' I see, the majority seem to be brilliantrot.
Does anyone have a breakdown of bmw production #'s for 318is'?

[Joerdan23TN]

I see a far amount of alpine aswell.

Test fitting resulted in the need for a 5mm spacer up front to clear the strut housing.
H & R's ordered with new extended lug bolts.

Lookin good Joe. You've really done a good job with it, improving on a lot of stuff. We need to work on the brake feel and install those swaybar end links dude!
