Still learning. Fortunately Castro and Bimmerheads are within a 30 min drive from me! From what I've read, they can help steer me in the right direction!

Love this car! Let us know if we can help!

Yes definitely Jon's old car. I believe he sold it to that Persian kid Amir who also bought chameleon leather's old Alpine 4-door on 17" 5-lug Alpinas.

Wow, never expected to have found the OP of this build! The 12 page post was like looking through my kids photo album from birth to a teenager lol...what an awesome community!

You need to do a m54b30 swap. Then it'll be like the touring version of Stucke's car.

Nice pick up! What kind of amp/speaker combo are you going with?

Thinking of a focal setup or wait for an old school BA components to pop up.

Bagged Sienna? I'd be interested in a photo of that!

Your E30 looks nice!

Thx for the compliment.

Must be Griggs' old car. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=241570

I'm guessing he never got around to that engine swap?

My first post after lurking for a few weeks.

Just picked her up a 3 days ago. Having been unattended to, exposed to the elements, and not driven, she wasn't too pretty. Swept off all the spider webs, flushed fluids, and replaced tranny & motor & plugs. She cleaned up really well after a thorough wash, clay, and polish.

Initial impressions:

1. Surprisingly, rides fairly comfortable...comparable to my bagged Sienna.
2. Got a thumbs up within 30 minutes of driving.
3. Transported me back to a time when I said...someday!
4. Power is a bit anemic, so already researching possible options, swap vs. turbo

Immediate to do list: tint, amp/speakers, alarm, power door locks, cargo cover (if i can locate one), install rear wiper, arm-rest/drink holder, headliner, Thule bike rack
