[abit]

tnx to all.

but further nothing special to come, because spend some my money @ party's etc :D

also installed other springs and dampers. FK 60/40 springs and fk dampers @ front and original yellow bilshteins at rear. and of course changed stabilizer bars to bigger ones also from 324td. so car become lower and stiffer.
smthng like this


then I had some issues with shifting arm, because I can't find m20b25 shiting arm, so I made it from m40 arm just shortening it. also the fuel pump housing was problem, because I had housing with no return line, so had to make it too.

after that was first test drive, no brakes actually, only handbrake :D

Already some time I'm reading this forum, so I decided to post my poor e30 too :D and yeah I apologize for my bad language :D

Car looked like this, saloon, bumpers and other parts were near in warehouse. only there was no engine, gearbox and drive shaft.

First thing I wanted to do was paint engine bay and put in all other needed stuff, to later install engine.
@ start:curse:
