My first early alpine E30 project

[crazyman]

I know some people are going to be like it's an ETA. I know that, but it's going to be 2.7i eventually and I'm going fi on it here hopefully by the end of the year. So this is my 84 ETA as of right now it's all stock besides the ES front and rear valance. Besides tasteful oem upgrades the body will pretty much remain stock, the drive train on the other hand is a whole different story. There are quite few imperfections on the body, but nothing I can show with my camera. I'm converting it to black interior with heated seats, waiting on those right now. Here are some of the photo's so far.

Here are some before pics of the interior.

whoa, you've got quite the project! I have an 84 also with the 2.7i I will be parting out most of the engine stuff soon when I install my 24v. lmk if you need anything, Id love to help. The 2.7i is a LOT of fun in an 84. I kept up with my buddies S50 sedan haha he wasnt too happy afterward

Very nice, I won't be having any engine mods done, but I'm making sure to have the interior and body work done by the picnic. Since this is what I'm bringing lol. Pm me about the engine, would be interested in the whole thing if price is right.

head is cracked, but everything else is good enginewise. I also have a tan vinyl rear seat you can have. Shame you arent closer...

[crazyman]

Ah ok, still is a ton of parts I want none the less. I'm converting to black leather, no need for tan. Thanks though.

I still kinda miss this car :/ makes me want another DB car

[crazyman]

Are you going to the picnic?

[shameson]

Ya I'll definitely be up at picnic. I'll have to check it out there

[shameson]

Oh and btw. The front bumpers ends don't quite fit because they are from an early 318. Lead me to believe I needed ones from a 325. Thought I'd mention it lol

[crazyman]

Got the chrome molding for the gutter above the driver door put back on, also got my Pfeba spoiler put on. Figured this would be a perfect match, a huge thanks to luis325 for it.

Don't have pics yet, but got the seats pulled, pulling the dash and HVAC now. Also got all the mold on the roof cleaned off as well. Got the exhaust cut out, sold the cat for $80 which will help pay for the exhaust system. Working on properly mounting the rear valance, so it lines up better.

I'll post up current pics either tonight or tomorrow, sorry about how long it's been. Hard to find time with a 3 1/2 month old.
