So I figured I would do a thread for this car because it's true to the grm style and maybe it'll give people some ideas. I bought it in 2005 and sold it in 2007 doing everything low budget (not low class) in the garage. Daily driven all the while.
All in all less the $3k invested including the car.
Mods: Weber 32/36 carb with K&N / Flex-Dam front fascia/ IMSA inspired yellow headlights (stained glass window paint)/ Zender spoiler/ Ansa exhaust / Recaro seats front and rear (now I have some tan ones)/ New Sachs clutch / 320i alternator - a mod nonetheless/ Dino steering wheel / OEM 13 in BBS mesh
Rustoleum Little Mermaid paint from Home Depot (Laguna Seca Bluish)
In the backyard drying and paint comparison. Close for 50 bucks!
