I posted this in one of my other threads, with some teaser pictures of the E36 when we first got it, in its original form. and since My brother and I have finished the build, only thing left to do is when the motor gives way, time for a motor swap

Before






After
- E36 m3 style body kit
- 19" M6 wheels powder coated black with a fine red lip
- Fresh gloss black paint
- Rubber molding also restored to brand new look
- Angel eye headlights (still need to fit and install)















Let me know what your thoughts are!

Thanks guys, i'll be sure to let my bro know as well!

Thanks ivory, To be honest i still live at home with my parents, working for my dad's company. He owns Mr. fence (www.cmrfence.com) on rt. 9 in freehold, NJ. We do well, but my dad teaches me responsibilities and doesn't just hand money down to us. We do live comfortable though. Very thankful for that!

ivory8

definitely, don't worry i understand. i am also a blessed youth. I just wish we lived in a place where i could get a project going. too small garage/driveway. I'd love to make my own little track car thing...

Haha, that is how I afford my car too, just I work for my dad's law firm

Sweet BMW! Does it cost more to change the color of the car, did you paint inside the door sills and what not?

Bumble_Bee

It looks like you purchased a completely different car.. Great job..!

dancap

Thanks, exactly man!

it was 1,500 to change the color to black, with it being stripped down, painting the door jams and everything!

fahrfegneugen

Wow that is way cheaper than I thought and it looks great, I was quoted at 3k for my 8 and they were not going to do anything with the jams cause I was gonna leave it black. I think I should go look for another quote, lol.

Who has the Tiburon?

dancap

3k wow! Def. get a quote somewheres else. We got a great deal on it, especially since they took apart everything to paint the hardest spots black. The paint does look amazing now! But, the first time they called and told us it was done, me and my dad went there, and we made them redo it it was so bad, and then the guy that helped us out got fired a week later, so the owner took it into his hands, and it came up superb.


The tibby is actually my sisters, it also has a wide style body kit on it. Soon will have rims, ehh shes happy with it, she doesnt need anything faster then that.

Lookin' good. If you want it to look even better, I suggest you get rid of the amber reflectors in the lights and the sidemarkers, then it will really stand out. You might want to add a wing as well, like a lip spoiler.

Drop a Turbocharged V-8 in that when you swap the engine. That would be hella fast.
