ohthejosh and his e30

[Khaleeezy]

Did a lil work on the e30 nothing much;

-put steelies on
-new rotors and pads
-HIDs for the low beams
-swapped out front bumper and valance
-put brackets on the sagging rear bumper.
-quik trim refresh for the grilles.


Dont have pics for it all but do have some after a quick wash;

I noticed you took the diving board bumpers of, when you installed the newer plastic bumpers did you have to weld anything or do any serious modifcations? I have like the same car that why I was asking thanks!

Really jealous of your M-Tree seats

Thought Id update this thread. Since the last time I posted Ive put in H&R races front and rear.

New almost mint dash and also black carpet. Not the best pic but the only one I really have lately;

EDIT: I also got these bottlecaps for free. Well the guy left them outside for whoever to pick up and put a 20 in between the tires LOL.

Have a set of smileys waiting to be fixed and mounted as well.

So I tried to lube up the caliper pins on my rear hoping that was the sole reason to my scraping new brake pads and rotors. But to no avail, looks like I need to rebuild those sticky fckers.


Also while under there I took a look at my diff and looks like is have a 3.25 LSD :) Either that or its just a diff cover.

Spelunking. Oh yeahhhhh.

(Also the noise that is made while doing so!)

The drivers seat appears to be a convertible seat. Does it recline back all the way? or just partial

Goes all the way back.

Driver's seat looks like it is leatherette.

That's what I figured, I'm hoping to redo all the seats to it to make it look better and last longer.

kinda not looking forward to it, who wants to buy some pb's?

Yea definitely going to need it, I have an extra trim piece from the front that I'm going to experiment using bondo and fiber glass with before hacking the rear.

I still need a really good way of measuring the amount to cut off and what not. Kinda wish the DIY still had pics up. Worse comes to worse I'll have to go junkyarding for another rear bumper and have it done professionally.

Minor update: Should be getting a set of fogs with pigtails this week to fill in the void for the front. Also it would complete it to my liking.

good luck with the rear it was a bitch for me also

As others have commented I like the bright blue. Keep up the good work.

Well just finished the Tbelt, PS/waterpump, and alternator belts. As well as new radiator hoses and water pump yesterday.

Battery isn't charging so gonna go buy a new one in a bit and hopefully I can get her back on the road.

Wish me luck! This was my first try in fixing a mechanical issue.
