The build thread for my $1,000 E36
-
My name is Jake and I'm from the Fox Valley area. I'm sure you've all noticed me posting every once and a while for the last couple weeks.
I am here to showcase my $1,000 1996 328is. She's a fully loaded 5-speed with 240,000 miles. I picked it up before the snow started to fall and beat the ever living crap out of it.

Carousel. by Jake Spence Photography, on FlickrNow that the snow has melted, I can finally give her some much needed attention. She came with some nasty purple Walmart tint and some fake carbon fiber vinyl on the roof which I don't have any pictures of. I couldn't stand it and ripped most of it off in the middle of winter (not my smartest idea).
Here she is in her current state. Winter took a real toll on her.

Both Ponies by Jake Spence Photography, on FlickrYep, that's my track slut lurking in the background. A boosted Miata. I'd love to line her up against some Bimmers on here
Backed Up by Jake Spence Photography, on FlickrThat's all for now. Expect some updates very soon, I have some parts waiting in the garage

Nice man! Lets see what this turns into!
Thanks, I think by July she'll be looking real nice.
When are you putting those rims on that I sold you? You should Polish the lip only they will look sick.
They're on right now, just waiting for it to stop raining so I can clean her up and take a few pics.
Maybe this summer I'll polish the lips.

Thank you! She looks a lot better with these new wheels on. Many things in store once the weather warms up.
I might post a teaser pic soon.

Noted.
I would love to. She needs a new coolant hose and then she should be good to go.

Ltws look good. What are the specs? A nice buff or claybar would look great for removing those rust stains.
They're a staggered set. 17x7.5" with 225/45's up front and 17x8.5" with 245/40's in the rear.
I'll wash her up nice sometime soon, the rims are dirty in these pictures as well.
