Okay, here is my 5 series... I want to post pictures mainly so I can see the before and after for my car. Hopefully the car gets a new paint job because as you can see it's 2-toned... lol. For you bimmer fans it has an M20 engine with 86k on the motor. The car has been running strong, but still not registered. LoL. My girl and I are going to put money into this and register it later. 
















E30 DriftAR!




Sparco Seat

Lowered with the Sparco Seat!

Oh shit! Painted the extra drift wheels black!

Pictures of my engine before I start the swap.




Woot woot. M52 from a 1996 3.28i Automatic. I'm using a 5.28i wiring harness, a ZF transmission from an M3, I'm going to order a Gripforce clutch soon also. Yay! I'm excited. I need to get some more money though.
yay! Just some teaser pictures

Fat chance... v8's are cheaper than M5 motors... even the E34 M5 motor is madd expensive...

Yah a 540 motor... But that's a lot of work and supposed the parts are really expensive... I got an M50 block sitting at work right now that blew up, and I could rebuild, but thats expensive too. The m20 motor runs good and this car isn't going to be a race car so I'm not worried about the motor yet...
As for the plans, it's going to get a paint job, I got front clear corners, the rears are coming tomorrow, I ordered LCAs thrust arms, idler arm and such that should be coming in soon. I am going to replace all the shocks and springs, and lower the bitch, and I have been looking for some rims... My money is going to my bimmer now not my Sentra as much... lol. But if someone comes out with some good parts, I will keep the Sentra modded... lol.
The car needs a tremendous amount of TLC, that my girl is going to give it when she comes down here for school.
The car has been sitting at my Uncles house in his drive way since 1999, and just last month I got it put back together. He's been using it as a shed and never put it back together. The car overheated supposedly and bent the valves when the timing belt broke, so I got all the stuff for it and put it back to normal. Spent about $200 for the parts, and had to buy a new fuel pump. The car has been running great!

No more BMW, my dad has it now. I put Euro smilies on, and tinted side marker lights. Now I have a new project drift car. So I am just going to share this thread with it. I will leave all the pictures on the 1st post, and I will get updated pictures of my 5-series too.
