This car had been sitting unused for almost ten years and was neglected. The body was completely straight, but it's a high desert, southwest car so my hope was that rust repair would be minimal.

Das ist sehr schmutzig!

Tire fitment. After the five lug conversion, which used e28 front hubs and e36 318ti trailing arms. The car sat pretty well. The larger tires fit because I have a Ground Control coilover setup lurking under the car, which allowed me to tuck the tires under the body as much as possible. Smaller sidewall tires and small hubcentric spacers are required for clearance and fitment. I also switched over to lug studs rather than use the lug bolts.

Checking clearance before getting into welding supports

right side wheel well clearance

rear wheel well clearance is tight

Car as it sat without OEM fender flares.
