e36 convertible v8 goodness

[lox]

Serious car lad, always liked the idea of a m60'd e36.

Cheers man, it's something iv wanted for years so finally went for it. Should be mostly done next weekend, in time for its first outing, the iadc licence day not the best time to hop into a new build but sure it will be awesome to finally drive it.

I think the RF Bodyworx vinyl could have been worked into the main graphic a bit better, they contrast too much as it is. Good effort though.

if im honest i think the whole lot came out pretty poor.
The main graphic was ordered alot bigger the rf bodyworx was ordered in white and i had two more vinyls ordered which the couldnt do yet still took the order and only told me the couldnt do them when i called into them.
I just slapped them on for the time being to give me an idea and maybe changes to make for when i get them re-done.

So im ready to go test the car hopefully it holds up and takes a bit of hardship whilst i try to get comfortable with it and ultimately i get used to drifting again. Half practice day in my mates car and a couple of doughnuts before loading the e36 up yesterday is as much drifting iv done since 2012 and i wasnt so good back then.
i'm really looking forward to getting in this car on monday, its a massive step up from the 323i i used in 2012.

Bit of an update

Got out for a day at the iadc licence day had a blast of a time even tho I didn't qualify it was awesome just to drive the car.
Had a few minor problems on the day, so these problems coupled with my lack of talent (mainly lack of talent) are my excuses for not driving well.
My brakes need a bit of attention had a job to get the hydro working on the day and when it did work it needed a fair tug to lock up so il skim the discs and put in new pads.
Anybody recommend a decent upgrade over oem brake pads??

Also my powersteering pump decided it didn't want to work after literally 2 minutes, I had a second hand pump fitted as new ones were hard to find and about 600e.
No way am I paying that for a pump so I'm going to piece together an electric system using a pump from a c4, c-max or something must look into it a bit more first.
Apart from those two small issues the car is way better to drive than I expected.
Will lower it more and change out the front springs for 14kg ones.
