Good to hear you're back man. When are we hitting the 'Ring up??

Looking forward to seeing your E30's progress.

Much props for all the work going into this beautiful restoration project!!

[DREWHALL]

I envy your interior. Car looks great.

Thanks everyone!

Still not doing much because of the weather. But some more stuff should be happening pretty soon. I just got some shiny stuff in from BavAuto...8-) It came in a big box too... lol.

Anyway, random pic from today...

[scabzzzz]

Looks awesome Dirtboy!

[Dirtboy]

Got some updates today. The shiny stuff from bavauto is installed....









Also got my broken driver's seat frame repaired and I'm getting the muffler tips aligned to the M tech rear bumper. Hopefully all that will be done by next week. My Luke box is sitting on the floor in my office with amp/dsp/sub installed, just waiting for the car to get back from Schaffer's to start work on the audio.

Damn that looks good. Hows the weight ofthe headers? Better get some vids up asap

[elsabor67]

That is awesome man. Now I really miss my E30 :(

[Dirtboy]

Amazing. I love fresh Diamantschwarz! You need to go lower!!

EDIT:



Just for fun...

Niiiice! I wish I could get it to look like that... Do they make 17 or 18 inch weaves? lol

But really, I don't know how I can go lower with Bilstein/H&R sports. I'm not going to coilovers....





not going to coilovers....







not going to coilovers....





yet....

Guess I should have kept this thread updated...

I finally caved a couple months ago and went with GC coilovers.



I also went and got some 17x7.5" BBS RS rims.




Finally finished up the trunk.






And got the obligatory vanity plate.




Oh, and somewhere mixed in-between all that my steering rack blew up so I swapped in a Z3 rack... Much better now. :)


And that's where I'm at now.

Now to save up for bags for the e30...

car's money, love it

[sl0ride]

I’m glad you took such great care of her! I sure did pick the right person to sell to. Maybe when i hit it big i will buy it back for some absurd sum. Probably in the neighborhood of 10times what i sold it for. And you got it imported to the states! Im also glad you got her back on the ring ;)

Now to save up for bags for the e30...

Say it ain't so, Joe!

[Dirtboy]

Say it ain't so, Joe!

Hahaha... It's just a thought. If I go through with an engine swap, the bags will go out the window and I'll do a 5 lug conversion.

Bringing this thread back from the dead... 8 years later and I finally said goodbye to the E30.:( But it's going to a good home.




Now on to other things...

Beautiful car. Good luck with other things!
