    Got the hoses and put her together, still have to do the strut Mounts but I’ve been busy with life. My brothers just opened a tire shop so I’ll probably go do the job at that place.

    Your project is looking very nice, but you need a new steering wheel to replace that boring 4-spoke

    Is that wheel a Momo or is it just the horn button?

    Nice work with the car. Really nice example of a 328, there are not many left in good shape.

    I didn’t know much about bmw’s when I first bought this one. Luckily it had the LSD from factory n it’s an IS, just cheaper parts compared to the m3 in my opinion

    I see that you have the foam sound dappening material remove on the bottom of the hood. Did you do that or did the previous owner have that done? I'm just going to be doing that soon and am looking around for the best ways to do it. Awesome build man!

    It looks like we bought our diffusers from the same place. It's a relief to see another one that has the protruding upper lip.
