    lmao. yeah the funny part is someone put serious time into building it (probally the same guy who tiger stripped an e30 yellow). It's dual the whole way with a crossover, and it doesn't leak and is fairly balanced lol. I' pretty sure they are from an old kawi or another jap motorcycle lol and they sound outrageous. they will not be staying for the long run, but bodywork first on this beast. then steering rack issues, then exhaust.

      worse part about the exhaust is that they cut the spare tire well out to fit it. Just means i'll have a full trunk 24/7 or have to get nice Thule and a cool basket to strap two spares into.

          It could very well have come off your car if it was in MD. I'm in Hoboken, but the garage and car is located in southern PA around York / Hanover area, and that is where i got the deal on the decklid. Oh the wonders of the e30 world.

              Ummm, I am still waiting on the crankshaft for the stroker to get done from the machine shop. I then have to get it back together, no whining! You have the stuff get at it.

              Also Henna and euro will the spot on =) Glad you are saving her!

                  I don't understand how someone can do this to a car, and think that it looks good.

                            Boo.

                            this may have been a deadline I could not meet. heading to PA on thursday to see if i can at least get it together enough or primerd to bring, otherwise I'll be there just to check things out anyhow.

                                decals are removed, starting finishing work on the body, got the lip fitted and repaired with new tabs, but it still needs a steering rack, bumpers, exhaust and of course paint. It is unlikely that this will be my ride to gFEST but I'll be there anyhow, maybe pick up some of the pieces I need to finish this.

                                Pics later tonight. Maybe an all nighter and all day tomorrow to get it road trip worthy even if it isn't beautiful.
