so some may say this is showing like my pixel cars considering ive been driving for >1 year and have owned 4 cars. this is my second BMW E36 325i , both 93' , both white , but this one is manual , and a coupe . So lets jump to it.


this is when i got the car , dented spare tire area, leaking fuel line, black painted then sanded headlights because you need headlights to see at night
so i was opening the trunk and realized this terrible-ness

wires just twisted together ( it bothers my OCD ) so i.... still have yet to fix this, just ignore this image
i noticed the rad support was bent and it was effecting the headlight assem.


i picked up the one from my old 3 series from my friend and some other parts


(lower trim piece)

a little while after driving it here n there i was smelling gas and it was misfiring sooo bad so i open the hood to see my gas line off.

replaced
i finally put the wheel i got with my other car to use

so fast forward a bit, the rear sound det. has been removed and the seam sealer

the full rear was seeam/stitch welded by myself, i know its not the best but the goal was the heat the panels so they melt together it has been painted



i have also recut my rotors

due to wheel shaking under braking, more to come im still learning ( ALOT ) but cnc is welcome and i hope i finish this wip

so my heater control valve went up and i am running a very temporary fix, a bypass since the part i need is 300$
sadly i have to take the whole intake mani off to get where the part is , so i took the time to clean some parts while it was off
my intake mani had over spary on it so i sanded it down and used my torch to burn it and recreate the OEM look

paint


i also spotted some carbon build up on the "valve chambers" so i used carb cleaner and a tooth brush and removed as much as i could

all that was left was to clean the head
( done )

more parts car coming soon

i would just get new rotors instead of recutting/resurfacing your old ones. New rotors are about the same price as getting them redone anyways unless you have someone to do it super cheap or know how to do them yourself.
