Bought these wheels for a stupid low price so decided to slap them on. Now the car sits pretty dang low but stiil has wheel gap because of the 15's..






So here is how the car sits as of now.


I know it needs a lot more low on these 15's... they are 15x8 with 0 Offset.. I will get 16 on it in the future.




Okay so 16s are on the list... as well as lots of body work and prepping for the paint job that's coming up and a hardtop;)
Stay tuned!

so i installed the suspension and got that taken care of. Also bought some xxr 531 15x8 wheels...Got a crazy deal on them that's why i bought the 15s but in the future definitely buying 16s so no worries... More pictures coming this week and lots of updates soon.

Alright, back to business. Went on a pick-n-pull run and found some good stuff i needed. needed lots of things like little rubber parts here and there...


Okay so I got a windshield! mine was smashed from the accident so I needed to replace that. Took me about an hour to do and my dad also helped me out a lot! Definitely a 2 people job!


Windshield Out!


New and old

Also picked up a set of Bilstein's which are totally awesome! Old ones were blown!!


This is about it for now. Going to instal the struts soon and do other things:)

Nice interior for sure!

Mine was a combination of two sets of bad seats to make one set of decent seats.

I like the IC's and definitely want one of my own sometime.

Is it delphin gray? The color of the exterior I mean.

How's the top seal up? No leaks in the rain?

Thank you :) Yea these convertibles are wonderful and seriously such a Blast to drive! The color of the car is actually BMW-Granitsilber-Metalic. The whole car has been re-sprayed at some point in its life and it looks like a terrible re-spray, they did not even color match the original color and the prep work was obviously terrible. As far as the seals go, they seal up great and the top only had one tiny leak and i replaced it wish a better seal i found at pick-n-pull so now it doesn't leak anymore. Thanks again :D

Alright so i decided to give the dirty interior some love and simply wash/clean it with water soap and different cleaning supplies I had:)


So i took the seats out of the car... Front seats are pretty much mint and the seat warmers actually work (how nice is that?) got the front seats cleaned up :)



Washed the carpet! It was FILTHY! feels so good to have a CLEAN interior:) not perfect now but definetly much better and even smells clean!





Top down;)


So the rear seat has some cracks on top from the sun and it started to unstich. These seats are hard to find in goo condition so i will have to patch it up for now and i plan to get head rests in the rear as well, that's definitely going to cover up some of the cracks up top.



And that is about it for now as far as updates go:) Much more coming soon! Big plans for the car:D Stay Tuned.
