New car, new member

Welcome!

[Philo]

Looks clean, we have the same rust issues in the Midwest as you do it sounds like

It's funny, because they don't know.

OP, I love the plans for the car. Now let's see some progress!

I'm not sure if you know, but there are a few guys from Norway which have unbelievable E30s.

Eighteen year old man from Norway, the home of some great e30s.

Nothing gets by you, chief.

OP, I love the plans for the car. Now let's see some progress!

I'm trying to find fog lights as we speak...
Also need to clean up the wiring on the headlights, the previous owner has apparently gone crazy with wires and duct tape... :down:
so the low beams is shit, I just hope the reflector is ok, and not burned..

[Philo]

Source some ellipsoids. Reflector housings are junk comparatively.

[KristianF]

I have the Hella smiley lights, and they seem to look in decent shape, but haven't popped em up yet.. I've just had some bad experience with people putting in bulbs with too high wattage..

[famguy]

Welcome. Looks like a good start.

Now get wheels and drop it.

[KristianF]

It's already dropped 40/40mm.
Got rid of your Alpina kopis yet?

[famguy]

Not enough imo :) What color is it?
Yup, they are sold!

[KristianF]

Sterlingsilber metallic.
Well, it could be lower, but we'll see.. bad roads, you probably know how bad they could be..

[famguy]

Aha.. Nice. Well, I'm looking forward to see what you'll do to this car!
Yeah, I know for sure, hehe.. But that's not an excuse ^^

[KristianF]

No, I'd rather drop it 60/40, but the drop was already done when i bought it..
As you see on this picture, it should be lower in the front.
And yes, it's missing a cover on the right side where the fog lights are supposed to be.

Nothing gets by you, chief.

i just thought it was weird you asked him if he knew there were nice cars from his own country, carry on. :p

[KristianF]

Car is now back on original springs, honestly can't wait to drop it when the spring arrives..
Photoshoot tomorrow if the weather allows it, here goes a couple of interior shots;




M-tech 1 steering wheel





Original euro-spec IS interior, not too shabby condition. Considering buying m-tech seats if i'm able to find some in the right vinyl..
