          Welded camber/toe adjustment



          All done ready for trailing arms




          Front also slowly coming together. As I wait for more parts to come in



          Freshened up the calipers as well


          Bought the press at harbor freight. It made my life so much easier! Worth every penny



          And also cleaned up the harness


          It's in!



          Untangling the knots



          And that's it for tonight.

          Pretty soon the car will be on its own wheels !

                So here is another update. Was busy this whole summer for the most part so haven't had a chance to get much done.


                Got more parts in




                E36 suspension


                Drilled new holes and pressed the bolts in so it fits e30









                Rear end ready to install



                It's standing on its own. The rear is still too heigh. Will need to adjust



                More parts






                Engine bay ready for marriage




                Engine is also ready








                As she sits now.

                Also while all this is going on the interior is getting new upholstery. Have only one pic



                That's it for now

                Denis

                                Update.


                                New clutch is on


                                Getting ready to be installed








                                Suspension all finished.


                                Standing on its own !


                                The suspension is still not adjusted, still needs to go lower



                                Can't wait till I get to drive it. Still have lots of lil things to finish up
