Will do man. I appreciate it.

Looks amazing, congrats! My ‘93 design touring is getting a 107k KM s52 this summer. Can’t fucking wait! :D

thanks man, appreciate it. 107KM motor is a great find, where in Europe are you?

Looks well deserved to me. Attention to detail in the engine bay is great.

: )
haha well I took plenty of time.. thank ya.

Man I want wagon/touring so bad. I've had a few wagons from different makes over the years. I would love to get into an E30 touring.
Beautiful ride man.

Check out AutoScout24. there is a great phone app and you can save your search so it's easy to find out when new tourings are posted. I got this one for around 3.5kUSD, but if I could do it again I may consider searching specifically for one in Italy / Spain / Portugal for apparently significantly less rust.
DM me if you get serious and have specific questions..

Looks great, enjoyed seeing the build thread.

The wheels make it look all grown up.

Those are cool huh? I wondered a bunch what the style 18 would look like on there and pretty happy with how it came out. I may give them a year or two and then may search for a set of AC Sch type 1 some day ...

ethirtydavid Congrats on the COTM! Builds like these give the rest of us hope that our projects are not as bad as they may seem.

yo thanks, I have read and seen a ton of inspiring e30s on this page and it's like each one offers a little more motivation ~

Absolutely love tourings! Glad you stuck with it. Congrats on COTM!

disgustingly clean. the interior especially, and love the lower gray accent line, don't believe i've seen that before on the non-mtech bodies. fancy feast

haha yeah thanks, that was a bit of an experiment. I used a couple ounces of automotive paint mixed in with the raptor liner

That thing is a beauty and sits perfectly.

thank you, it's super stiff but it drives very comfortably. GC mixed with Bilstein dampers seems to be a good combo.

Congratulations on COTM!

Engine bay looks clean. Did you remove the battery tray up near the firewall?

hey thanks a lot. the bay in your sig photo looks outstanding~
yeah I ended up with some rust in that entire battery area of the motor bay and I already had a plan to relocate the battery to the trunk, so I reworked that space.
