    Turbo v8 swapped e36 (pic heavy)

    Hi everyone!
    My name is JoNathon and I'm from Kentucky. I've been working on my build for quite a while now and just now getting around to making a build thread. It was a 97 318 vert but now a 95 318 coupe that I've shoved a ford small block 302 in. It has a good mix or Euro drift, early 2000s D1, and american muscle all in one. Which was my goal from the beginning. I also daily a 318 sedan/saloon which will be my clean and low yet simple car. Fell free to let me know what you think.


    here's how its sitting currently





    started its life as a completely stock single owner 318i



    changed the wheels and installed coilovers



    my son really wants to help build the car so i let him help of course

    Nice build! Some of your ideas look very similar to mine, nice execution! What angle kit is that?

    In for more pics and updates. I'm very interested to see your turbo placement and tube front....

    Made a little pit of progress over the weekend. Got the front end cut and prepped for the tube front and got the front suspension adjusted for max angle/lock. Even took off the front fenders to clearance them more for the tires. Turns out that it was the first time the fenders had ever been removed. had to cut the factory undercoating away that was holding the fenders on at the bottom.

    Thank you.
    The angle kit was made by NP Parts but I wouldn't recommend getting it. The quality is great but the customer service was the worst I've ever experienced. Took a year to receive it after many angry conversations.
    The turbo will be in basically the same location as the typical m5x/s5x turbo builds.
