hello peps me again with another car as the golf has been sold to lordlucan
I decided to get myself a BM and saw this one on EBAY for £500 so I brought it its a 318i LUX 4door

this is how I brought it





anyways it drives lovely just a shame ive got to weld the diff up in it once ive got hold of a 4:45 diff
but untill I get one I'm going to slam it already brought a set of 15" bbs for it oh and sort out the body work

because i don't want to go round corners like a old man plus its more fun

cool car mate , miss my old e30 318i . If its a M40 engine make sure you do the timing belt if your unsure when it was done last as they have a tendency to snap ! ( as I found out in both my e30 318 and Early e36 318i M40)

[lordlucan]

Ghetto, you have pm about the golf. Please can you let me know what your response is?

[mgmetromatt]

nice, always had a soft spot for these

[ghetto]

hi a bit of a update been working hard on the old girl I got round to getting a 4:45 diff all welded up


as well as that ive also uprated the bushes to powerflex ones and done the suspension replaced that with a 80mm jamex kit as well as doing that the old lump didnt want to rev past 4k so I got myself a M42 lump and slipped that in the bay

then proceded to go on a few drift days with the new bits and I loved it so much better than my old volvic



oh and while I was their this happened

OOPS!!! haha never mind so after that no real damage happened I decided to paint it
mid prep


and this is the paint I used 40buck for 5liters and as I like to do things differently I didnt want matt black or the army green I decided to go for this instead not everyones cup of tea but its mine and thats how I like my tea lol


ive done the boot lid different ill get pics up soon but ive also got to finish the rear 1/4s to blend into the boot

[mclellanmac]

ooooo i like that feller!

[dude]

NOOOOooo, not matt beige, now everyone's going to paint their drift bucket matt beige, I wanted to be a groundbreaker ;D

(apart from that it looks great, just needs more lowness)
