Hey, hello, welcome all vstancers!
First of all my name is Adam. For now I'm 19 years old, after 3 months I will be 20 by the way. At the moment or past 1 year I have been living in Valo City, but I as a child I come from Minnesota. My passion for cars a got from my dad when a was little, he was a car mechanic, so I was able to see cool looking cars and everything works, but I haven't seen him for a while, because he stayed in Minnesota. Enough of my life story, let's talk about cars. So, in all my life my current car is second I own, my first car was a VW Jetta MK2 with 1.6 gasolin engine, I ended it by crashing into tree about two years ago....  Since that I have driven a lot of cars, friends, neighbours etc.Now my current car, it is a BMW E36 318i, with swaped M54B30. Which a bought for V$1200 from friends through friends about 2 days ago. It look's bad, but it's actually not that bad, only exterior is in bad shape. Engine, suspension and interior is in pretty good shape for the price. Here are some pictures:      What I have done: -Fited a front bumper -New exhaust -OEM rear light To do list: -Take a look and adjust suspension -Rims -Paint job -Front bumber -Align everything, headlights, bumbers, grill.... -Replace rear light -I atcually have a lot more, but I'm a little bit lazy write it all down  A little specs -Front 17inch Rotiform ROC wheels with farely good tires -Back 15inch steel wheels, with terrible tires (I wonder why) -Stock M54B30 engine -LSD -M3 right mirror  -Some unnamed exhaust Basiclly that's it, if I forget something and I suddenly remeber it, I will add that thing.  Cheers, SupyPaw a.k.a Adam! This post was edited by SupyPaw (2016-05-05 16:06, ago) |

Doesn't look like a bad start at all man! Body's a little rough but doesn't look too serious. Plus there's a bunch of BMW's around here, i'm sure you'll be able to find parts or help real easy.

A little update, I got a front bumper from a guy I know for V$50. Only down side is, that this bumper have broken mounts, but I managed to fit it on.  Now it looks like this:

I dont see any point in fixing this bucket, the only thing worth something is those wheels and engine. Get those out and get something not pulled ot of an swamp.

I don't know, there is something in this car that make me fall in love with it. It's already look's like shit, so if anything happens, like if I crash, it won't be as dramatic. Ofcourse it will still hurt, but...

Hello there!
Latest update on my 36: -Fitted new no name, again, exhaust. Well atleast it look's better and sounds a bit "cooler" which coasted me V$50, se yeah...   -New, alright not new, used oem rear lights for now, but I'm thinking of tinting them red. I got rear light for V$20.   And now the part, I orderd a new suspension, yes new. For shoch absorbers I went with KSport Slide Control Drift and for springs I went with Tein Sideway Master Super Drift. It all coasted me V$1000 and they should arrive tomorow, so I'm hyped for that.  For now that is it, take it easy friends!

The muffler is a nice touch. What's with the rear wheels though?
