 I started to make a little progress on the E36 with the help of 11K. Because he did all the engine swap process, and he helped me taking off the engine and transmission assembly from the subframe, showing the guts of the E36 all in its glory.  The engine was in nice condition and it will be shipped to Marcaron_Moon since he wanted the entire engine block and the transmission for V$ 5000. I am thinking of putting 2JZ engine inside to match the "inline-6" heritage as well as the reliability that the old BMW didn't really have.  Alongside with the E36 project, I decided to replace my front bumper to a Z-Tune style ones for sleeker look. It took few weeks to arrive and I paid V$ 1500 and the OEM bumper lights for V$ 150 since it didn't fit with the NISMO ones. Luckily the protection mesh grill was also provided. I tried to paint it white with the help of Mr. Lee and it came out pretty nicely, and the faux carbon sheets were added along the lower lip.  License plate brackets were installed as well, and it fits pretty nicely, considering it's made of FRP. The final results look pretty nice, I think smoother than before! I got rid of the Nismo Z-Tune style rear fenders for sleeker look as well.  As you can notice, TE37SL from the Supra was moved to the R34 and the OEM R34 wheels are now in the storage. Probably I am going to use those as a drift spares or track day event. |
