And god, does it looks so much better. The before and afters below from the first day I owned the car to today are just shocking in my mind.

Now that my fingers are beaten to hell from chemicals and peeling and kerosene (great cleaner, btw), I can finally stand back and be happy with my results.

Now, I just need my trim pieces and swaybar links then I’ll be one happy camper.

Good work! Has the Safari been sold off yet?

Where’s the Safari

At this rate I don’t think it’s ever going to. My parents talk and talk about getting rid of it but never follow through. I think they like having the extra vehicle, and there’s just so much sentimental value in it, they don’t want to sell it.

Parked right behind the M3, over a puddle of its own fluids.

Not too shabby. I’ve got to say, that black around the side marker is driving me up a wall though, and I don’t know why. It’s completely irrational on my part.

and change the lights, it will give another look to the car

This looks like those before/after college puberty pictures. From flat-brim ugmo kid to tie-wearing mature man in just a few small changes.

It bothers me too, always has. New lights are in the works eventually. Some nice black projector units with halos and just the plain factory clear markers that don’t have that ugly seal.

Lights are certainly on the list. I need new ones all around. The back ones are fogged up and get water in them, and the front ones are just not that attractive.

I imagine once I get some better looking lights it will just look great.

Nice, looks ten times better. The black just hid the shape of the wheels.

Get rid of those headlights they are the worst

You wanna give me the $270 for the new ones? Cause I’m waiting for that then them and the back ones are being replaced.

Headlights must go ASAP.

For some reason I thought you got rid of that van.

Not irrational. It’s like painters tape on something hung in the MET.

At this rate I don’t think they’re ever going to get rid of it.

If you got $1 every time someone on the Internet told you to get new headlights you’d have them in no time. Peeling the wheels is such a nice improvement.

Still the same water pump though ?

You mean the perfectly fine water pump that doesn’t leak and has kept the car cool in stop and go traffic on an 85-90 degree day? Yeah.

I told because I have the 318is, and here in portugal it is the lights you see the most, and is the most cheesy car. The BMW E36 is the most easy car to make a ugly car

Dammit, I can’t unsee now. Those weird black strips are all i can focus on.

I love it, never wanted to hate on your car as we all have different taste but as long as we love our cars we are all jalops, but let me tell you I love this look. Oem headlights might be next?

Looks awesome. I am glad you're feeling better about the car. It seems very nice overall.
