Guest bubblegoose Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 so a few months ago after i carefully placed influential hints over the past few years cheerios brought an e30 325i, then shortly after this 320i auto shitbox popped up and peer pressure/my boner made me buy it (picture taken after i attacked the dents) didn't mant my mum to get welded so as soon as i got the car out cam the diff and in went the mig moments after hitting the buy now i traced down an M50b25 and manual box, coupled that with a manual pedal box kindly donated by the wonderful DPNS and a porsche 944 brake booster donated from the family guy a shooooooooort overnight trip to the westcoast saw this happen not long after getting a WOF (i do not encourage this kind of behaviour) threw in a set of braided brake lines, new wheel bearings, bilstein shocks and whiteline bushes then striped it out and slipped it into the spray booth for a quick coat of racecar white (also tidied up the engine bay) with the help of chris from M&T i turned my pockets out and ordered a set of 15x8 and 15x9 reeums, chopped the front springs and had my sponsor at mace engineering adjust the fitment of the rear springs with a big gas axe finished putting the car together (kinda) about 9 hours after i was supposed to depart for nats made it there and back with only minor issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
