so i picked up this very clean example for a mere £70. minus the dent in the front and back (a result of a sandwhich) its very very straight and i must say, rot free. its a very standard 318i. now no offence to all you 1.8 owners but the only thing i envy of you is your fuel consumption. now in true modding fashion the 2.7 supercharged lump will be finding its way to the 1.8 body. however upon its short journey it will grow to a 2.8.
along with the engine all the running gear will tag along to keep it company.
the day i bought it..
as you know oem isnt for me as much as i like the look of a good clean car. the style of this project is to be bold. i came across some rather tasty wheels on the net and my wife suprised me by buying them. there not bling or in your face and 9.5j wide so some arch work is required as you can see.
im hoping they will provide the traction needed.
now just to let you all know there will be no fibre gash bodykits involved. all arch work is fabricated from sheet steel. once all four are done a little filler work to make them nice and smooth and if my mate has time and funds allow moulds will be taken off the car and made in carbon fibre
fingers crossed eh! if not then the steel ones will stay put. i wont bore you all with to many progress pics as there are alot but this is the drivers side all fabricated
just to add the wheels are rota d1's, they look like big mini lites i know but i dare to be different.
i will update as i move along with this which will be every weekend.
enjoy (or not lol)
