Looks like a good build! Nice work on the engine and the bay.

That bay is gonna look killer! Whats you plans for it? Keep up the pix. :up:

My intentions with the car were to make a summer car out of it, which would be capable of open track days at nelson ledges and beaverun... Just trying to make a dependable roughly stock e30 to go beat on.

So far its an m20b25 (885 head)...Just bought IE3 race springs from a member here (will be at my door within the hour). Ive gutted the interior as it gets in the way of the true sound of the car. I have some smashed plastic bumpers and front 88+ valence that I picked up from someone local. I fixed those and will get some pics as soon as they are on the car. Hopefully ill stop being lazy and use a camera instead of my phone, but 3am phone pics will do for now.
