Eff you mtech1 front valence!

Heat: probably not.
I hope to put in the OEM dash and carpet and some other stuff, but chances are not this year. I want to drive this pig in the summer, which probably means doing the interior NEXT winter. Definitely will have no audio.

The chassis really isn't that bad. I would have stripped the undercoating off of the car on a rotisserie regardless, so the only thing a cleaner shell would have saved me was a week of rust repair... Not a big deal...

As far as doing homework, it wasn't so much about not doing it, it's that initially i was content with leaving the diving board bumpers on there, but the more i looked at them, the more i hated them, and thus it was time to replace.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living? Any specific training that you've taken? or do you just have access to the equipment, and go balls out till you get it right? (that's what i did with my welding...)

for the record....regardless of what people say of your chopped up e30...haven't seen last of pics...i think the machining and cad designing is awesome, most people critisizing the looks don't know half of what it takes to get that done.

I dig the wheels, BTW.

I read your entire thread on lotusclub and it did change my perspective on some things.. I guess that if I had the tools/money/skill to do what you do, I might do it.

The quality of your metal work seems top notch.. But your out-of-the-box thinking gets slightly rediculous... You could have done some homework before going balls-out hack on it and have a cleaner chassis, but the final results will speak for themselves.

Any word of getting any amenities on there? Heat/electronics/a dash? or will it be a fuhraze machine?

oh teh drama!!!~~~

:giggle:

Ha, its not even done give the car a chance.

It's not the car that bothers me, I have read his build thread, and I find it interesting. He has some unique ideas. It's newman's obnoxious, "I'm so great, everyone look at me, by the way, you're a bunch of idiots and I hate E30s and E30 owners" attitude that irritates me. His entire reason for posting on this forum is to piss people off, and we don't need that here.

But he's too cool to care what I say, so I think I'll just put him on ignore now.

this VW guy likes it!

i guess they're not all bad!

;)

(unless awesomecore really means AWESOME CORE which means he really like my AWESOME intercooler CORE and hates hates hates my butchered ultra super rare MT1 valence)

NO WAI!!! VW boards make my head hurt. Search for anything on "stretched tires AND handling" or "staggered setup?" But since it's a VW board, I suggest searching the terms "streched tires AND handeling" and "staggared setup?" (jk dubbers that read this)


Haha. That's pretty much what it boils down to. No one on this board really knows you. All they saw was a pic of an MT1 valance being cut. Such is life on the internet. It is serious business. ;)

PS Nice air compressor

i actually lolled @ your VW quip.

(Actually the air compressor kinda sucks... it's oil-less so it's SUPER loud. I am trying to find someone to trade for a 2 stage oil type, 175PSI tank pressure is nice though...)
