My long finished e30 project

[Haystack]

Looking good. My 87 AW originally had a Pacific Blue comfort interior. Wish I had scooped up those seats. Mine are torn to hell. I suspect I'll end up getting sport seats recovered in the blue though.

Great progress!

^Thanks man! I looked a hell of a long time for black door panels in any type of cloth... months!

So today I decided to figure out my driveshaft vibration (it's gotten so bad I get a vibration in 1st and 2nd gear when accelerating from a stop) and I think I found the problem ;D I put on the new bearing on the driveshaft now, but sadly the flex disc pelican sold me is for a 528e Automatic... not sure how they screwed that up but I bought everything so long ago there's no way I'll be able to return it. Cars on jacks for the night, I need to get the correct flex disc in the mail/ or from a parts store ASAP to get the car on the road again!

^Thanks! Well I figured I'd post up some pics of my ride height, plus I'm running my Mtechs white basketweaves now. The front is about 90% down, while the rear is about 65%. I'd like to lower the rear a tad more but the cambers just going to kill tires. The ride quality is awesome,

Thank you! Cleaning all those parts before reassembling really payed off.

Well I installed a Ireland Engineering strut bar a couple days ago,

Found some photos I forgot I even had, figured someone might be entertained looking at them.


Day one after finishing cutting up the parts car, pushed the car out of the field and pressure washed all the mold off the paint, still a ton of oxidation. These 2 photos where taken on Feb. 18th 2013






Pic of the engine still in the parts car, and gauge cluster. I opened it up to check if the gears where original, and sure enough they where! Still working and counting.





The parts car came with this in it, the original dealer window paper

Well some rebuilt fuel injectors came in the mail a couple days ago, unexpectedly. A buddy of mine bought a set for my Birthday without telling me! The idles surprisingly a lot smother. There just a rebuilt stock set, which is exactly what I would have ordered.

The old ones have Black caps while the new ones are Yellow. The injectors have the same part numbers however.

Thanks guys! Ya I was giving away those perfect blue comfort seats, no rips! Not one person called, I was surprised.
