So some of you may remember my Red EJ1 build from a few years ago. I sold that car and got a '97 328is BMW which was cool for a summer. I sold that and bought a stock '00 FBP EJ8 that I've had now for about 2 years. I will try my best to bring this thread up to speed, as I definitely need a Build log to keep me motivated.
Let's just say this build has a little more money behind it. But not much
Cheers!
Here is the last picture from my other build, what better place to start. (4/2011)
Then I parted out the Ej1 and bought this E36 (6/2011)
I got the Ej8 In October of 2011 Stock with a load of receipts. i bought it at night on Friday the 13th so the body was of course not as nice as it looked. But it has no rust and the car runs great.
The week I bought it I started ordering parts. I also got these BBS RZ wheels from a corrado that ended up being wicked bent
I got the OEM Hood Bra, and Side markers really quick
A guy I work with had this in his attic from the 2000 EM1 He bought new. So he gave it to me, I polished it with Mothers Aluminum
I then got a Momo MonteCarlo through work, ICB motoring tear drop knob and a few other things.
I had sold those RZ wheels and was driving on Steelies. But it did source and OEM SI Grill and Lip (lip obviously not installed)
Found these Team Dynamics wheels on Craigslist.. They just didn't do it for me.
Sold them and got my favorite wheels of all time. Brand new with my christmas bonus.
Mud flaps and OEM Sunroof Visor also installed. I also got Ebay Carbon spoon mirrors to replace the Elephant Ears.
After this pic was taken, the only other thing I added was the OEM EM1 Lip. After that, I took it off the road, bought a 4 runner, and sold almost all of my parts...
More to come.
