My first e30! Daily driver turned into show car

[e30abe89]

Update! Installed my camber plates. Finally had time to do them. Going to tackle the rear top mounts today and fix the ride height and camber up front as well.






While I was there I decided to install my new valve cover and new gaskets. Found out my valve cover hose was ripped on both ends so I pulled one off my parts car.



New one

So much dope in this thread.

The valve cover is finally on! love it!

So I spent my night messing with my suspension got the camber dialed in to where I want it and the ride height as well. May god help me! But it looks so good low. Still haven't driven it so it still needs to settle a bit also doesn't have a passenger seat. Tucking all the way around.

I need to get on a build thread of my own damn it!...


Everything looks nice. GL with the Low.... I sadly had to raise mine up and im still banging and scraping my plate around pretty often.

your car ***. I love it. Great choice with the jet black color

[Kcaps]

This build is amazing! Well done.

[FARZAD]

Its a BEAUTY man, Great job..

Very proper. I love the guys at VR Wheels! They do a great job, I had my RS's rebuilt and fully polished as well and they came out fantastic. A Euro Map Light would complete your interior nicely. Respect your DIY dash swap, that was a major PITA for me!

Looks super nice man, good job.

im liking this! very clean! ( i didnt read thru the whole post, but whats the paint code you used? )

Beautiful job! I agree with the first build on a unfamiliar chassis being "by the book" if you look through your thread it has less opinions about your choices than most build threads I read and its over which oem parts you used. Others should look at your build as a cautionary tale about previous owners maintenance as anything and everything they didn't replace YOU have to. E30's are extremely reliable IF they are properly maintained

engine bay. Needs black powder coated headers.

Thanks man! This idiot that owned it before me drove it to the ground and never maintained it.

No headers for me trying to keep it stock for now. Cops love to pull people over and give them stupid tickets so I'm trying to avoid any reff tickets.

Beautiful! Where did you find that valve cover?! Or how did you make it?
