So it begins. On Friday, April 19th, 2013 I purchased an E36 and sold my beloved E30. The Delphin is in good hands, so now I can focus on what I did with money. I purchased this...
118K on the clock, and very very clean. It's an auto-tragic, so I wont be too tempted to make more power (hopefully I don't get motivated to swap it). Currently sitting on some snows wrapped around 16's, this baby could use some wheels, amongst other things.
Plans:
-Style 42's
-Clear corners, glass headlights, halos(maybe)
-Raceland coil setup to get lower
-M bumpers (of course)
-New top (it's been patched a couple few times)
-Exhaust because DAMN this thing is quiet. It's eerie.
-Stereo could use a refurb/upgrade
Im sure other things will come to me as I go. I plan on posting some additional before photos to show where the car started so you can all be amazed when it looks exactly the same in six months. Haha, I really hope I'm kidding about that....

I will be selling my racelands very soon if you want them:) Looks very clean. I cannot wait to see what's to come.
Trade you an E30 subframe, lol. But lets talk dollars when you're ready to sell. PM/text/call/smoke signal me when you know whats up.

Nice vert! now if only the weather gets nice enough to run topless...

I'm looking forward to see what you do with this one! And +1 on getting style 42's, I had them on my first E36 and loved them!

autotragic.. and no plans for a swap??

I'll get some interior shots up tonight. It has a couple of blemishes (leather is a bit hard, bubbles in drivers side door cards) but overall it looks good. Eventually the interior will be swapped out or re-covered. Also, vaders if I can find a set worth the money.

If I do swap it, I wont be trying to make power simply because it is a convertible, and therefore is only for swag and/or yolo. I have my clear corners coming in the mail tomorrow, woo. I am looking for a C43 or a CD43 head unit for this car asap. Also, a set of good speakers. If anyone has a lead on this, let me know. More pictures soon after I saddle soap the entire interior.

Soooo... updates that are old to me but new to you.
First purchased my clear signals and repeaters off of the interwebs. $55 shipped from fleabay (it even came with stealth bulbs!)
Wow! Then I put it in. Oh yes.
Also (sorry for the dirty car),
