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

A member from this forum made it for me. He does great work. Search woodgrain valve cover and you will find him in the for sale section.

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.

I'm a very careful and cautious person so I should be ok. plus its not a daily =]

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!

Thanks man! It was a pita! But got it done with the help of my pops.

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

Its jet black off an 08 bmw m3

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

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

engine bay. Needs black powder coated headers.

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.
