3 years, 5 e30s, 4 roadtrips to pick up parts, 3 m42's, 2 m20s, 1 m10, and 3 m30s. Countless $9 an hour paychecks, more then a couple college classes skipped, hundreds of man hours alone in the garage getting over my ex and pondering life while I turn a wrench. Thousands of hours scouring the internet, countless trips to Autozone and bap geon and a whole lot of blood sweat tears and prayers. The road to e30 nirvana (or most any car build) is not one for the faint of heart. Luckily Ive been absolutely obsessed with e30s since the first time I got a ride in one a couple years ago. The first car I built was t-boned less then a week after I got it on the road but that didn't really deter me from getting another one and building it to an even higher level. Its been almost a year since I started my complete e30, engine swap, teardown and rebuild and I'm so so close. After spending like 8 hours on her today, I'm really starting to get to the point where I just want to drive the damn thing.
How do you guys stay motivated throughout such an intensive build? My friends think I'm crazy, but every time I get a ride in an e30, or even see a clean one (like mine ;) on the internet I know I can't quit. Don't have many good pictures of her because she's hasn't been out of the garage for a year butttt. .
Im sure I'm not the only one who's 20 and broke af trying to build the dream e30. Thoughts??
