i do not have any major projects planned for the summer. Just working a lot to make money for my car and for school next year. I might replace some things like shocks and tie rods, and just do some tuning up so it runs a little better.

as long as i get the financial aid that was purposed to me for college next semester... i am going to work a bunch this summer...try to sell my e36...buy a e30 325is, then go to work on the suspension first... first things will be shadow lining, bilstein sport shocks, IE stage 3 springs, sways and stress bars, wider wheels and tires, brake lines and rotors.... hopfully i can do as much as possible on my own.... no more autoshop (lifts, and all the tools i could ever want) : (

My dad and I want to get a project car this summer or sometime this year. I'm pulling for a Bimmer (e30 or e36 M3, 2002 (Turbo, if possible) or a 3.0 CSi) and he wants to get an older porsche or Audi. the goal would be to make an SCCA or BMWCCA club racer.

Custom sway bars going from a 12.mm rear to 20.5 mm 3 position custom bar.

The front only gets a couple of mm bigger but gets 3 positions and adjustable end links.

Magnaflows to replace the stock back boxes. I'll end up with four 3" tips The stock 4 are 2 5/8" with chrome BMW slip overs (optional) that are 2 3/4" so they aren't as much size change as they sound.

AC Schnitzer rear under spoiler - Looks like the ACS M5 center wing.

Ivy, Ivy, Ivy out of the landscaping for the rest of the summer.

My car is my project car. haha

I forgot to add that an 8-series is also a potential project for me, and If I can convince my father, i intend to install an Eisenmann exhaust as soon as I can get 800 bucks.

Ima plan on a paint job and a new sunroof panel. Then an iPod connect stereo

My 318i is my project car!

Well...looks like I'm getting my skirts done this month...
June/July...I need to hook up my Gibson exhaust, Finish my leather interior, and hook up the footwell lights....at some point...
I'm also think of a catback bumper like Deloriant has
