    New E30

    Hey all, my name is Tyler, I'm 18, and I finally got my first e30 a few days ago. My dad owns a repair shop, so he often buys broken-down cars from customers for cheap, then fixes and resells them. He got this e30 about 6 months ago with a blown head, and I was immediately interested. It sat outside for 6 months through the MN winter, but it finally got into the shop, and here it is all fixed up in my driveway.







    Yes, I know its auto, and yes, I KNOW that it is bronzite.

    Its pretty clean, save for this spot on the bumper where the asshole who had it before me ran into someone:


    I've got a set of rubber mallets, so as soon as its not cold and snowing I'm going to see if i can get that back into place.
    So far I've got blinker clear covers, fog lights, a chip, and a front lip shipping to me as we speak.
    The car needs some wheels, and I really don't know what is out there for these cars so any links and suggestions are very welcome.
    Any other thoughts/ mod suggestions are very welcome!

                I see. In that case, are lowering springs all i need, or are there other suspension components that you must have?

                          Congrats on the car, it looks like you'll have to fix a small part of the valance and fender as well as the bumper. good luck on the project, nice looking car!

                            the bottlecaps will look better when you drop it.

                              Consider it done. Just for my reference - the e30 just needs lowering springs, struts are not required?
                              I just replaced all 4 struts on the car, so I'd rather save the money.
