Go fuckin get 'em. I love builds like this. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Thanks, I cant either...

I would keep the body the way it is. done well it will look sweet with 5 lug and what have you. keep us updated

I didn't like the fitment on the front of the kit, corners stuck out too much where the "bumper" would bethe the bottom of the fender, going facelift w/ is lip, ryang splitter, maybe french fogs, smoked elips, euro trim. I think I'm ditching the 5-lug until Stage 2, Thinking of just upgrading from my fuh raze narrow diameter strut housings to the larger 4-lug for now, still using coilovers and BBK.

I'm interested to see if this is one of those "10 year plan" project cars, or if you actually have all that stuff done by next summer.

Thanks for the possitive commentary, actually, I'm really pushing for on-the-road by June 1st. The previous work from putting it on jackstands happened Thursday, (48hr ago) and I will be yanking the engine/trans tonight after work. Remember I run a pair auto shop, time/project managment is my forte. In fact, If I can organize a 2.5m a year pair of auto shops, I can complete this project in the alloted time. Again, thanks for the support.

Solid disks on early 318's? Damn!

There are discs on the rear too. It also had eibach coils, full fiberglass bmp kit, non-m m3 spoiler, euro amber corners, some redone sport seats, a spiffy two tone matching apc (pepboys) wheel (soon to be gone),. What I wasn't sure of is if the earlt 318's had 4sp or 5pd MT, I really hadn't reasearched that because I knew I was getting rid of everything anyway.

+ narrow strut diameter = track beast!!!!

See, above, I'm getting rid of everything anyway... Not going for track beast, just something fun for the ten mile drive to work every day.
