My Broken Beemer

Introduction

Well I no longer own a fiat so thought I would start a thread for my new project which is a bmw e36 coupe with the 1.8 engine and no upgrades apart from the alpina alloys which are worth more than I paid for the car and the broken alpina front splitter but I can repair that
The plans are at the moment, get it through an MOT which requires new brake lines, rear shocks and suspension arms on the front then after that is done it needs both front wings replacing, the bonnet, boot and the doors if I can find any cheap enough then a full respray in a custom colour ;)
I shall be documenting all progress that gets done as and when
Anyway im yammering on and I know we all like pictures here but im afraid theres not many of them yet

Those arches!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Can't wait to see how this turns out (y)

Yeah they are horrible looking but luckily its mainly surface rust so shouldnt be too much of an issue to sort out :)
Im gonna order the parts to get it road legal probably friday or early next week so I can actually use it then sort the bodywork out as and when I have time at work :D
 
Finally a bit of progress!
Its in the workshop now, going to start stripping it and chucking all the old panels onto the scrap pile, and going to order over £250 worth of bits for it tonight which includes 2 new wings, a new boot, m-tech side skirts and a new bonnet
They all need to be replaced and Id have no other way of transporting them and plus, im not paying for them :p
Still waiting on the rear shocks to arrive from FK and got the front arms to change then its just the dreaded brake lines to replace, not gonna be fun due to having to drop the fuel tank but the underneath of it looks very clean for the age of the car which im impressed about :p
Got some random pictures of it too Obviously it does need a lot of work still which the pictures will show :p
