    Bglad's PRO3 Build

    So I thought I'd throw together a thread to document my progress on my Pro3 build. Trying to have it ready for 2011 season. I purchased a 90 325i Coupe, auto unfortunately but a swap fixes that. The car was in super good shape, aside from the minor front end damage (The PO's daughter went up over a curb and bet the inner tie rod) He was rather ignorant about the whole thing and didn't realize it would be a rather easy fix, so I got the car for 800 bucks, and started my endeavor.

    When I got it








    Front end damage

                                      Havent decided yet, probably in a few areas, It's getting a full cage so that will help a lot.

                                              Is yours the pro3 on a college budget build, If so I've seen it. Coming along nicely. Are you expecting to have it done for any 2010 races? I'm shooting for April, but we'll see beings that I'm doing mine off an unemployment budget. Do you know Rand? He's up here too, and just finished his car, it's rnice having a car nearby to look at constantly.

                                                  yes, that's my build. I don't think that I will be able to get the car out on track this year, but definitley next year. I need to get some funds together for the suspension. I have heard of Rand but had no idea he was up here too.

                                                  Looking forward to following a long on your build!

                                                      I've heard that Truechoice Konis are the way to go. With IE sways.
