Awesome build. Love to see someone save a good E30.

Thanks! Couldn't imagine seeing the e46 m3 kit working out honestly haha.

9/6 - Figured I'd take a look at the rear mounts after ordering the fronts and rears just to be on the safe side.. Found the reason I kept hearing a little rattle when I'd drive from the back.. Turns out that one of them were blown and had tons of play.









9/7 - Cleaned up the shocks with some steel wool and soap, Also took a couple side by side shots of the front bearings for shits and giggles. I believe the bearings are the original factory ones with 280mi+ on them due to the "88" stamp but I could be wrong.








Left side is the cleaned up one..

New is just so nice

Damn foo..... I saw your engine bay on IG and I gotta say, I'm impressed.

The amount of work, you have put in is 2nd to none., hopefully once your ride is painted, it will be a prime example of maticulous DIY work.


Keep it up homie.

It's truly hard to beat and I trust my installation vs having a shop do it. I'm very picky about who works on my vehicles.

Thanks Edwin, it's been bugging me that I haven't been able to bring it to any of the meets but that's mostly due to my OCD. I'm really hoping to have it at the CBQ but i've been swamped with working lately to fund this stuff haha.

Appreciate the kind words though; thanks man!

Anyone have camber plates for sale?

My buddy retrofitted the RHD euro hvac panel for me... Looks pretty stock

[DIIRTY-30]

Finally got my passenger fender back from my buddy dave...

Early fender (top) v.s. Late fender (bottom) //// Had to trim it up a little bit in order to make it fit..






Also took off the drivers side to shave it down a little to fit a bit more flush.. While I was in there I got some undercoating and went to town on the all the wheel wells.

[DIIRTY-30]

Changed out the broken hood latch for a new one...








Went ahead and started the front brake pads + rotors...

[DIIRTY-30]

Anyone have a bearing puller near 91405 that I can rent/use?

[esheg4ever23]
