About 4 months ago I decided to get a daily e30 so I could work on my project e30. Well that plan failed when I started to fix little things.
When I just got it
The car was running a little rough so I decided to look for some air leaks. Found that the intake manifold had air leak. So I pulled it off and decided to clean and paint
This was the antifreeze
I had an extra steering wheel laying around and saw a forum member instal a cover which made it look much nicer. I did the same thing. Its a fun little project
Finally cleaned the intake
Found some Reps that looked decent. Lets agree to disagree
Started doing some painting
My brother picked up this gem to use as his daily. It didn't run at the moment but we got it running. It was a californian car minimum rust.
After working on the car for about a month I had a great idea swapping it from Auto to Manual transmission.
At the same time I decided that my ultimate project Henna had to start at some point so I pulled the engine and transmission out. I'm doing a complete restore on Henna with taking everything apart then sticking an m50. Later turbo it.
For now just taking everything apart
So after I pulled the engine out of the Grenna I decided well why not give it a paint job.
Got the injectors rebuilt by a guy from the forum. He did a good job
I painted the tail lights but could use a nice buff
Decided to change the rear seal since I'm at it
Used the clutch and transmission from my Henna car since I will be doing an M50 swap in it I can pick up a different tranny
new spark plugs
Tons of little maintenance stuff
The diff that was in the car was an open 2.97 but I replaced it with an LSD 2.97
used some fresh oil
With the new rims the car needed a drop. I got ST springs
All the shocks were blown so I got KYB shocks.
I got everything put back together just was lazy to take pictures but I still need to change couple more things.
