fixing up this bad boy:

[TexasTerp]

buy another e30, start collecting swap parts

[gearheadE30]

Install HID headlights (fogs are already in-they sent the wrong bulbs for the lows)
Install rear headrests
Sound deadening
Find some way to get a bit more power out of my little M42...

[mrsleeve]

Working all winter so no time to work on the E30 or even be at home.


I will take the money as the last 2 winters I have spent way to much time off.

Currently welding in new floorboards in my 2002, rebuilding the pedal box, and swapping out the 4th gear grinding 5 speed for a better condition one. Once that is done it is on to the E30. Pulling the motor to swap oil pans, remove A/C and replace the steering rack. I know I don't need to pull the motor for this but I want to do a very thourough cleaning on the motor and engine bay while I am at it. Oh, I am also installing plastic bumpers but since it is an 88, that won't take much time at all.

Not to much on the list but since this is CA, winter should be over in about a month anyways.

get a new water pump in the e30
get it running right
new shocks, CVs and clutch in the jetta.
maybe a swap in the jetta.

[dashboardmonkey]

start aquiring car stereo gear for my E30

find another shell to replace the other E30(too much rust)

try not to shoot myself in the head in all that insanity

[noE30]

replace gaskets
replace oil cooler
fix the sensors on my check panel
mini suspension rebuild (bushings/coilovers)
fix the misc issues with the body.

[thornado327i]

Rear brakes - swap to discs (finally!)
Gas tank replacement
Rear shocks absorbers replacement
Some minor cosmetics
Summer wheels refreshing
New summer tyres

It's going to be tough given my constant lack of time...

[leland21]

Finding a garage to rent/use since my dad moved to Florida...

As soon as that is sorted out, I won't be driving the e30 this winter so:
Pull engine to clean/replace worn parts/compression check and possibly head rebuild
Clean engine bay
remove suspension and clean/paint subframe
replace all bushings
possible diff swap
recover some interior pieces
get new to me rims stripped and repainted
replace brake booster (currently has a vacuum leak)
Re-hang exhaust and make new bracket to fit 5 speed swap
remove trunk tar
possible new Miller intake and chip

Plan what I'm going to do with it next. Everything is remotely inexpensive as long as I get a good deal on the suspension components. Just gonna try and get everything that is time intensive done while not driving it.:)

Actually just making this list is getting me all sorts of warm and fuzzy inside......

[Court M3]

get it running right
Prep and install moonroof
Stereo install

[bikerbill2021]

i got myself an old 75 CB500T for 200 bux with an extra motor, gonna go the cafe racer route with it, and it'll be my back up ride in the summer

cant wait! :up:

[bimmer_E30]

Since i am in college and i need to study my ass off, nothing is happening....but in April there will be some work.

Do a full-tune up(timing belt, water pump), Repaint my front+rear appron, new tires, skidplate, fix the stupid electrical problems, get hids, tint the windows, re-do the the trims in black and finally fix the exhaust leak and give her a good power polish.

will probably be done in like july or somthing :(
