Project Weißer Regen: 91 318iS Restomod

[Bill Brown]

What's yours going in for, much the same? I hope so. The world needs more Jordan builds.

No, I wish!

Mine is coming along nicely, I have done a fair amount of things (and also was fortunate to have started with a pretty good car).

But I have to present these expenditures to my wife spaced in time and in reasonable amounts. Would take me 2 lifetimes to get it to Jordan's car's status! :)

Alright so when does the LSA swap start? haha just joking...sort of...

That car is so clean. Try to get some video of it and stuff, would love to hear this baby purr.

I drove my AWII 318is down to Jordan's shop this afternoon. I had emailed that I was on my way. As an idiot I didn't see his response inviting me to come by and see his in person!

On one hand I regret not being able to see in person such a wonderful car. On the other....may have looked at mine is dismay afterwards and offered a blank check!

Needless to say, I am excited about Jordan and his shop getting their hands on my car :)

Better than new is too little praise. Amazing work (as always) Thank you for sharing!

After rolling some more miles on the car this evening I've arrived at 24 total driven. She's a bit dusty not having had a bath in 5 months so I decided to get after it.

Washed the entire car, toweled it off then backed it into the garage to blow water out of every recess and trim overlap. Once it was thoroughly dried I sprayed the entire car down with P&S Bead Maker. I love this stuff for the gloss, clickness and overall ease of use. Its a spray on polymer based paint sealant. Its also cheap, and smells great!

Logistics didn't work out to get the car over to the shop today, but most likely tomorrow...

I ordered these OE BMW R134a fitting adapters and got them installed so I can charge the system. The high side adapter sits very tight against the line so the hood shock support hinge actually clears it. I was going to leave the R12 caps in place for aesthetics but decided the adapters are more prudent so no one down the line gets confused as to what refrigerant is in the system.



Reworked rear seat upholstery came in earlier in the week and I got it installed.




and today with the fantastic weather I took her out for another drive, car is solid. 9.8mi total on the build.



UPS also brought me a tasty treat today, my visors and overhead panel for the E30 came in from StitchedWheels. Extremely nice work, as always!

I will pop the largest bowl of popcorn to watch this sell on BaT. Skies the limit.

Ditto.

Congratulations Jordan! Enjoy driving the car and let us know when you want to sell. I am still enjoying the last one you restored.

[Jordan]

Thank you for all the kind words gentlemen!

I have no plans to dyno the car now, once the engine is broken in fully I will see about getting an appropriate chip in the DME and perhaps then, we'll see.

I have a R134a machine at work I can use, and I need to bring the car in anyway to do the alignment. Two birds with one stone.

No immediate plans to sell it, but BAT is likely the best place to find the right buyer for a car like this when I do.

[Staszek]

Amazing! Congrats! This has been quite the journey. Please don't tell me this is getting listed on BAT

I am pretty sure this one was pre bought for him to restore. I could be wrong.
