My project 84 318i

[Kwaaahhh]

Why you changed out the belt buckles jean? Also how do you like the z3 1.9? Is the throw shorter than stock? Was looking at this pic:



And it seems to be the tallest, would've thought you want to get a shorter one.

it was different. Your early pics make me want to get rid of my rs kit and go euro bumps.

you are crazier then i am. Get a e30 m3 roller and swap over all those new beautiful parts.

bah !

Be different! I've seen lots of nice e30 M3's but not a single nice early 318. Of course there could be reasons for that, and this doesnt really look like an early 318 anymore.. oh well... still different.

Thanks! It's been quite a learning experience to say the least. I'll get some updated pictures later, it's no longer on GC coilovers or Camber Plates (removed to install on my 89 325i). 318i is now on bilstein sports and e30 m3 springs, oem strut mounts. I've installed oem fog lights, map light mirro, and working on A/C ... seats and steering wheel will swap over to the 325i also once I find some good oem seats.

[hi its me alec]

wow, mindblowing project. makes me really want to get moving on mine. :D

[So Live]

Wow dude, i just flipped though a few pgs of this. Your just as crazy as me!!!

Im kinda depressed you changed the look of the car so much though. I really love the early car looks and now their all gone :(

Killer rolling resto nonetheless Keep it up!

[Jean]

Damn it, realoem shows the wrong part number for the early cars. These don't fit my early belts....

[Jean]

So I got new belt buckles, ordered them per the pn# listed on realoem and didn't expect both sides to have wiring?
