My long finished e30 project

I wish it was as easy to install the late model rear valance as it is to install the front, the rear end just looks so high off the ground on earlies. But you are really rocking those db's nicely

Hey thanks man, a OEM tuck is all they need. Late model front plastic bumper shocks and convertible rear. Really makes the difference :up:

I need to update this. I removed my Volvo lip and put on a normal OEM i lip.

And a extreme fast forward, the new i motor dropped in. Still have the old e in the backyard to this day

Good Bye.

Car looks great!!! Alpine E30's are so sexy to me.

I did the rear valance swap on my early. The hardest part was taking it off the old car. That was a pain in the @$$. But, mounting it on my car was easy.

Wow, this is exactly what I could ever want out of an early model! definitely sub'd! Have you looked into putting a late model rear valence on? I think that would be perfect for this car!

You know, that was the plan. I was going to chop it off the parts car and weld it on, but my parts car's was bent and haven't really given any thought of adding one to the car since.

Great thread and I'm loving the clean, tastefully modded early model! Well done.

Thanks guys, figured I'd share a pic with the new stock lip installed.




AND, I got a new family member

Well I went back to the same spot I took photos of my car almost 2 years ago now, time flys!

edit: OVER 2 years ago!

Small update. Cars been treating me great! I got some "BMW Motorsport" door handles from "RobertK". Great seller and high quality product. I still have yet to install the 3.73LSD my parts car came with, I'll get around to it one of these days.

Sweet cars.

Free interior?! Sweet car! the front end is uhh

[KIRIEIW]

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

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.

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
