    Bagged E36 Rat OZ Breyton Build

    As it lays today!















    First things first, it had to go low! I bought the coilovers the day I bought the car!





    Photoshop dreaming after fitting some style 19s waiting for the coilovers to come in the mail!





    Stuart water pump came in the mail before the coilovers so I did some cooling system maintenance before the fun stuff!





    Installed the coilovers and came across some rare OZ Ceres wheels!








    I traded my BBS style 19s for some BBS RSIIs and ran them for a bit!






    I purchased an M3 bumper and glass depo headlights and was satisfied with the look for awhile.




    New steering wheel and shift knob!



    I wanted a wider fitment and to go lower so I picked up some new wheels and turned the collars down a bit!










    My friend Cody aligned my car because I was killing tires after installing adjustable lower control arms and adding a little negative camber!







    The 10 wide rear wheels fit easily, but the front wheels rubbed my coil overs so me and my friend Brian cut 3/4 inch out of them and welded them back together.







    I took the paint off the lips and polished them!




    I lost my M3 bumper on the highway due to some large tire debris, so I made a sturdy bumper!






    Some more cooling system precautionary maintenance happened!



    My friend Connor took a photo when I drove to Colorado!



    After I got back from that trip I decided it was time to change things and I decided to go more rat rod style. Ever since I was a kid I always have went to random car shows and rat rods have always been what caught my attention, so I headed that route!










    After about 25 hours of grinding with a wire wheel I finished one side an some of the hood and then I got to close to my friend Aaron while following him and got in a little fender bender. Luckily it forced me to pull the trigger and retro fit some e34 headlights!





    In between taking all the paint off I had to take a break from it and build a overkill hitch setup to pull my motorcycle and I built some mirrors!





    After another solid 25 hours of grinding I finished all of it and added a lip and grill to the bumper!






    It was time to make a matching rear bumper!




    I went on a drive with some friends before cars and coffee!





    My rat collection!



    I was never happy with the ride height and always wanted it to be lower but still daily drivable, there was only one way! I decided it was the time to collect some air management parts!




    After collecting all the parts to bag it I read a lot about it and decided to go visit Eric one of my best friends for over 10 years! He has bagged a handful of cars and trucks and was down to guide me on the install!




    He had the weekend off so right when I got to there we started wrenching!







    Never did I think that bagging a car was so much work! We would wake up at 8am and go to sleep at 2am for 3 days wrenching away, and he even called in to work sick Monday to make it happen! I do not have many friends that would ever do that for me!




    After running the air lines and finishing it up we tried to lay the front out and there was not enough clearance between the bag and the tire so it needed more work, BUT the back tucked rim so nicely!



    Kansas field photos by my good friend Josh Brown!









    Before the 11 hour drive back to Texas I had already ordered some adjustable camber plates and 15mm spacers so they were waiting for me to install when I got home! The results made me more than satisfied with the front laying frame!









    More photos and story in the thread! Thanks for reading!

    I'm not entirely sure what to say about this. Best pictures were the ones with the girl.
