Its a pretty crap photo, it was dark.

Brought mags and tyres off Madhatter today.

Happy with em!

Next I'm scrapping the rooted stock exhaust for custom one, getting new shockies and springs, larger radiator....

Oh and i have an LSD to fit too.

I haven't nailed anything down for the front end yet, I'll have to make some enquiries about availability of front struts etc here in aus.

That and I'd like springs that are heavy duty/progressive AND lowered. It seems that king springs and Pedders do heavy duty OR lowered but not a heavy duty lowered spring...???

ideas?

W00000t!

Those rims are cool!! Just needs some lowering now!
Do the suspension good first time and you won't regret it!

Hey ,
I'm pretty new the the Bimmer seen, I just bought myself an old 82 320 yesterday and I fell in love with it at first site, but it's missing something.
I noticed a lot of you guys have the alpina model but i was wondering if how i could get my hands on an alpina kit. Anyways the seats r very worn so this comes to my second question. Should I find nice seat covers or take my chances at the pick and pull?
Your response will be greatly appriciated
Thnx

Get original Recaros!

PS: You should ask this in the General category instead of the owners gallery.
