                    Any bites on selling it? Figured you had it priced right and would be sold by now.

                          Making good on keeping another e30 on the road. Btw, I'm a little intrigued on the strut tube hybrid mod., what's up with it, any info?

                            Nice build! Definitely a noob questions but was it pretty difficult finding the plastic front and rear bumpers?

                              What a change! The "before" photo and now is a WORLD of difference. Great outcome.

                              How do you like the new suspension? I never could make mine work like I wanted, even trying pretty much the 99% of all the known mods to make it go decent in term os handling.

                                Yeah, beats me. I'm just going to hang on to it.

                                215/40/17 should fit without a fender roll (although I already have one)

                                Basically you chop off the top of an e30 strut right below the threads and weld it to the bottom of an e36 strut housing. This allows you to use an e30 strut insert into an e36 housing for the 5 lug swap.

                                LOVE LOVE LOVE my suspension setup. it's lower than bilstein/bavauto and way more comfortable. the UUC control arm bushings work magic (i'm at 7+ degrees caster, 2.5" negative caster up front)


                                Thanks y'all :)
