Not finished yet, but all the same

[quote=benny.c]Been building this car for a while now. Probably only a few weeks until we finish and get out on track

The car is a 1991 325 E36 Saloon - one of the first E36’s, which has the non-vanos M50 engine. We bought the car as a trade sale for £700 after struggling to find a sub £1K coupe. The car when we bought it was basically sound and it appears to have no major mechanical problems. It has done just over 100K miles and had been regularly serviced by BMW up to around 80K which is encouraging.

The intention is to build a track day machine which wont be used on the roads. Because we have access to a car trailer and have a 4x4 to tow it, for now the car wont be MOT’d or road legal.

Our basic alterations will be:

1. Strip out interior
2. Tidy up bodywork under car
3. New suspension - KW 2 way race
4. New brakes - AP 4 pots front, stock rear for now
5. Multipoint cage - supplied by Custom Cages
6. Competition seats and harnesses
7. Cold Air Intake and general service for now
8. Prep bodywork and re-spray.
9. New wheels & Tyres - 17x8 Racing Dynamics Pro-Race 1.2’s probably on slicks.
10. M3 engine when our budget allows. Probably next year.

Don't like the way the front spoiler is looking, but if it's done in the BTCC colours, it'll look fucking ace

[quote=benny.c]PART 22

Got most of the stickers on. Need to finish the new carbon fibre bonnet once it’s been sprayed, and finish the sun visor and we’re nearly there.

Now that is rather nice

Any idea how much its cost to do start to finish?

325i is 170bhp RWD....not bad starting platform for a track car
