    My E30: an LS3 Powered 1991 318iS

    So it's a work in progress, which is to say that it'll be done next week. I just thought that it was about time that I posted progress. We started a little over a month ago and will have it done in time for the e30 Picnic in Tacoma, WA next week, and the Greenwood Car Show the week after.

    **UPDATE**
    So the photos stopped working at some point, here are a ton of them but without blurbs because I don't have time to make new ones and don't know exactly what photo went where.

    Here's the link to the full Imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/2ixeA


    Later this summer I'm thinking I may do the interior, still working out finances and such. I'll post more pictures when we have some more done later this week!

    stage 1 is complete, it's running and driving amazingly!

            I have some more pictures, but they're more of the same.

            One more week and it'll have the fuel rail covers, new brakes, suspension, and a few more engine bits hooked up.

                        I have driven an '06 LS2 powered (400hp-400ft/lbs) 4000lb 6spd GTO and can say without a doubt that this car is going to be FUCKING INSANE.
