Hey,

took the car out for a spin.. My photography skills are definitely getting a little rusty!

She's an '87 320i with a few mods (courtesy of previous owner)
Smoked back & all indicators
Lowered 60mm all around (though that back end looks fishy.. Should be getting some 40mm springs soon)
(cheapo generic) Louder back box
16" Seat alloys
Smiley lights

Who puts a bin in the middle of the country side? Honestly!

Need those cars in the background editing out..

Now why didn't I spot the pylons?

As I say, going to swap the back springs, that tax disk holder needs a trim and she's either blowing from the manifold gasket of the tappets are really badly out of adjustment.
Hoping to do a head rebuild over the summer (between Blatants weekend and Santa Pod) to sort & get some paint on the rocker cover and inlet..

Really happy with her :D

I'm guessing whoevers sat in the back is rubbish at hide-and-seek :D

Pics look good though, backbox looks good for a generic jobby

:lol: That'll be the wife.. It was cold and wet so I didn't want to ask her to step out.. It was her idea to duck down :D

It does look quite nice.. Sounds the part too. Doesn't quite fit into the standard hangars though? Its sitting slightly off at the minute. Going to have to drop it off to sort the springs, so I'll see if theres a better way to mount it then.

And thanks for the compliments :thumb:

looks good fella!
like an e30 without a spoiler!

needs a good drop and maybe some spacers? IMO that is but i like the wheels the white looks mega!

really clean car man!

the mud flaps even look good but mine are coming off cause when they scrape i keep thinking the back end has fallen off or something dumb like that. :roll:

Looks good. I have an 88 316i but it looks the same... black, 4 door, no spoiler. Although my lights arent smoked. All my friends call it a Mafia car so I named her Marisa after Marisa Tomei (in My Cousin Vinny she plays the Italian girl who knows everythin about cars...sad I know).
