Clean for that mileage, was that MTech 2 wheel bought from the dealer or from a vendor?

Very nice Dustin. Very clean 318is.

Really love the new MT2 wheel.

Do you have a short throw shifter? I would recommend eventually upgrading to all powerflex bushings, especially the RTAB's. Really makes the car very enjoyable to drive without adding extensive cabin noise.

Care package from Abraham Motorsports arrived! Nothing like opening fresh OEM parts for a 25 year old car. I was able to get the lip on fairly quick so I didn't have to suffer with the yanky Volvo lip any longer. The skirts still need to go one, but I need a day off to take my time and do it correctly. I also had the front bumper realigned by a body shop due to a shop tech backing into the front when the car was in Boise.

In for this. I loved the vw.. can't imagine what this build will turn out to be!

I like where this is going.

Always good to see another local e30. Super clean!

Clean car. Awesome that the FS post was on Jalopnik. I love that site!

Thanks guys!

Always jealous of older guys with e30s. Upgrades come way faster.

Is 25 older now? :p

I bought it from a member on R3v.

I do have a short throw shifter installed by the previous owner. I will look into it. Thanks!

Big thanks to Michael (st1g) for providing me with a nice set of genuine Euro grilles and a Euro plate filler. Two things I feel should have been on the car from factory, but regardless are on the car now!


Plate filler:












Euro grilles:

Looking great, man. Very tasteful upgrades.

[Kedge]

Nice subtle improvements. Never understood why the US market got different grilles and no number plate surround.

You leaving the skirts black, or going body coloured?

[SSE30]

All hail the M42. The reigning king of bulletproof 4 bangers.

The meticulous care probably didn't hurt.

It's shocking how similar our cars are. Besides the motor of course haha.

Progress has been pretty much nonexistent since it got cold and (very) rainy. I have been slowly collecting parts which will be on the car once the weather gets nicer. Here's a quick picture of a few of the things to come.

front bumper needs a little massaging. Looks as if the front driver fender was removed at some point as well. Nothing a little tweaking cant fix.

There is definitely some front end damage (from a collision) that wasn't disclosed that I can see now that I have spent more time with the car. Passenger fender was definitely replaced and the core support has been repaired. I am debating if I should replace with new when I do the Mtech 2 kit so it it all squared away.

How'd I miss this?! Congrats
