    It sprung back straight after I cut the core support out. New core support will have a tubular frame built into it and will be bolted in!

      Things to look at, yellow inner headlights, angel eyes, projectors, yellow fogs. Good upgrades!

      You may think that I didn't do too much to it, but this is how it was when I got it.

        Does the e36 have any rust?  I can't tell from the pictures but it looks clean!  Even interior doesn't show the usual dirt stains that you get on that tan.

          There is a small spot of rust on the passenger door right on the bottom edge. It is an 98 328i five speed with 144k miles, first owner had it for 124k miles and has all of the service records in the car and all of the original paperwork. i bought it to use the driveline but it is way too clean to just turn into a pile of parts.

                  I do!  I love my 335i but Lola was a different kind of girl!  I'll have another e36 one day and make a nice project out of her.

                    This thread needs an update! Not a whole lot going on with the car with the holidays and finals going on, but I did get out there tonight and get a few things done! 
                    Cut back more rust 😕
                    IMG20141218103619633zps7kkch4ej.jpg

                    Got a piece made up to fit in there and started tacking/grinding that smooth. It's going nicely in my opinion!
                    IMG20141226171239810zpsq6gq1wpi.jpg

                    I finally did something that I have been thinking about doing/wanted to do for a while now. I REALLY like the way it turned out!

                    Did all four, and man was that a lot of work! I am oddly excited about how good that will look, and look forward to adding a touch more low.

                    I am happy with progression, and how things have been shaping up as of late, been having more people over to the shop to help, and a few guys that are actually sheet metal fab guys. To say the least they are good with suggestions and pointers for sheet metal work!

                      Some of those corner pieces look like a pain. Glad it's going well.

                                  Those were from the day we brought it out to the shop, when it kept overheating the oil and shutting off at stop signs/lights.
                                  I really need to add pictures of the new car, but its so dern cold. Which is kind of a BS excuse, because it's in the shop. Maybe tonight.

                                    Amazing progress since I saw the car last night. I'm speachless.

                                    Seriously though, that car needs to get back on the road and working right by summer. I'm hoping to have my beater together this weekend, and get the paint booth project wrapped up. Should be able to paint the bay within a week or two... :)

                                      Ha, it amusing to look at pictures of it and then think of what it looks like right now. Nowhere near as cool... 
                                      Summer is my goal, as always. Waiting for this cold strike to calm down a bit. That is really a BS excuse, maybe my lazy ass will go there today and get some work done. 
                                      You cannot call it a beater after what has been done to it lol.

                                        Pictures of the new lady, yes I did take some stuff off of it after buying it, and its kidneys are making a better appearance on HipMF's car. I look forward to cleaning it out, there was a small furry friend living in it for a bit. It reeks.

                                          Maybe I missed it earlier in the thread - but what's the plans for the new car?!? (Parting it I hope so you can sell me some stuff?!?)
