my project car

[jonsibal]

This is how it looked when I got it back in 1995:

We overhauled the car many times over. Going through 2 motors, 3 turbos, 6 set of wheels, 2 body kits etc.

It originally had a 2.5 liter motor so we replaced it with an M3 motor and then turbocharged it.

The hood is also my own design which was a modified GTR hood.

Another interesting note is that the front bumper is my own design. Only one in the world LOL

Martin, I chose cash over the car, since I already have this one:D

[Naj]

Man i love your coupe! The gold rims look nice against that particular colour. If i could own an E36 Coupe, and i was gonna buy a 318iS a while back, it would be something like this, moded, but not OTT.

[CmoR^]

OMG Love this picture

I do have sponsors that helped out with the built of this car but most of it I had to pay out of my own pocket. Just worked hard.

[jonsibal]

Thanks for all the replies.

race gas LOL

I'm thinking of repainting the whole car. The color of the car currently is Carbon Black. It's black when it's under the shade and under the sun it shows a bit more bluish tint on the paint. The new paintjob I have is something I've been wanting to do forever but just never had time or money.

[vermilion]

Easily the best looking car on the forum, and a true project car at that. This is a perfect example of what this model should look like! :)

[Dk_tuner]

what colours have you had in mind??

[vässmar]

Make a Warsteiner or Jaegermeistr replica! It would look awesome ;)
We have E30 that is painted exactly like a Warsteiner racecar here in Sweden and it looks truley awesome :D

Do you have a picture of the Jaegermeistr car?

I've seen couple of the Warsteiner E30 replica race cars and they looked great but It would be harder to drive the car on the street with a race car theme though.

[crazyturk42]

[Antilles]
