Hi everyone;
Thought you might find it interesting to see the progress on my personal e30 project. So far the engine has been built, and am starting on the last rust repairs, before the body gets the new design wide rear fenders. I have had this car for over ten years and it has about 500k miles total; driven across the U.S. several times, beat it to death, had it on two wheels around corners, taken a couple of small jumps and in general beat the crap out of it. It has never failed me. I rebuilt the 2.7 Stroker engine it came with several years ago and decided to put some HC 10.4:1 Pistons in before they rusted in storage... well to make a long story short... It is being re-born as a Wide body Stroker. Suspension, Engine, Body, you name it is being re-done. I hope the information is useful, I'll post the video logs and if you need pictures in particular of anything, just ask. Thanks.
