    '84 Lapis Blue 325e m20b25 swap

    Hey r3v,
    Just wanted to put up some pics of my e30, picked her up in March 2015 and had a great first year fixing her up. Will hopefully have her ready for my first track experience this summer! I'll be adding more pics occasionally when I get some good ones.

    Lapis Blue
    1984 325e
    140xxx
    5 speed
    Coupe
    Black leather sport interior
    (waiting on front seats)
    Black parcel shelf
    Blue carpet
    Momo Prototipo wheel
    Alpina Reps 15"
    Yokohama S-drives 205

    What I've done so far:
    - 325i Engine Swap 150xxx
    - Plastic Bumper Swap
    - Full Paint (first time, turned out decent)
    - H&R Sport Springs
    - Bilstein Sport Shocks
    - Turner Motorsport Race Chip
    - Z3 Steering Rack
    - Stainless Scorpion Exhaust
    - 3.73 LSD
    - Z3M Short Shifter

    Future Plans:
    Don't want to go full on track car, (already have an s50 swap beast) but still want her to be fun on the track.
    Next on the list:
    - Schrick Cams
    - Upgraded sway bars

    First day out of the garage all put back together about 2 months after I got it.




    First car show, OktoberFast




    With the s50 swap








    Update: Got the new wheel in today!


    Thanks for looking!

    Nicole

        Some more pics I found

        Day I brought her home


        Before, during, and after paint



        My dad doing the honor


        Before I swapped in the black leather (pics to come), still rocking the seat covers until I find front seats though.

                Thanks! The rear does bug me a bit, will probably just bite the bullet eventually and fabricate on a late valence or something. I don't like the metal bumpers but I love the early tails so I'm happy with it.
