OP, I love the sleeper status, the outside looks clean and the engine bay is propper business. nice work! Plastics and a new set of rollers would totally change the car!Comment

formula driver, I am a mechanic. I love a clean bay as much as the next guy, but my focus in this project was to make it look as if it might have came from the factory with this engine in the bay. Everything works on the car. The only thing I really want to do to the bay is to get a set of 318 wiring covers and figure out an airbox, as I don't like just a cone filter sitting there.
lsdbeaker, this project has been insanely satisfying!!! Other than a few extra hands to physically put the engine in the car, I did the swap myself. I'm kinda sad it is now so complete. Wheels and seats next. Anyone have some 15" BBS' they want to sell me??:D
TDE30, is that list a recommendation? I love rare parts and have a good amount of them for my mk2 GLI...I'm scared to get that ball rolling in the e30 world!!$$$E30 325i 24v, E36 M3/4/5, MK2 GLI 16v, NA8 Miata

HAHA, no worries!!
I'll make sure the next thing I do is clean the bay and install some Dinan carbon'er bits. I hear a clean bay and those covers are worth a total of 60 horsepower's!!! Those should put me at S5X sort of power!!;)
I built this car just for fun and did it cheap!! total out of pocket money is around $2500. That includes what I paid for both my e30 and the wrecked e36; suspension(bilsteins and kw springs), tires(rt615's), exhaust, and other odds/ends. This car is not even close to being finished, nor will it ever really be "done." This is my project car.
