Ben Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hey guys and gals. Thought I would introduce myself. My name is Ben and I am from Stoughton(near Madison). Picked up an E36 last week. I do believe this is a previous members old car. Its a 98 323is. Car is rust free minus a few paint chips. It has a lot of miles on it, but I picked up it for a semi daily driver to keep the miles off of my truck and to get a little better MPG on the commute to work. I plan an M3 front bumper and a different set of wheels to start as well as some general maintenance stuff. I have a few other toys as well. Just finishing up on a resto on a 72 240z and my daily driver 2012 F150. Pics of the fleet below:Only pic I have of the car now. I will get some more shortly.. My 240z:This is what I started with:Stripped down to this: My daily and my boat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 It will be a little but before its able to be on the road. I have a ton of parts that need to be replaced. So far I have ordered:Headlights, tail ligths and fog lightsBrakes all aroundFuel, oil and air filter. Water pump, coolant tank, idler and tensioner pulley, Thermostat and belts. I also have to figure out a few wiring issues. I think the stereo was wired in wrong. I am planning on getting the new bumper and nose panel ordered here. Thankfully I run a body shop, so that shouldnt be too bad to paint. It will look like a new car here pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
