    Extra bolts + new wheels + quick pics = 5 Lug whoring!!

    The title should suffice. Finally got her rolling. I know she is dirty, I know I have a sidemarker out, I know I need to hook up the parking brake, I know I have other misc shit to do still before the swap is 100% (like an aligment, hehe) BUT SHE DRIVES AND I LOVE IT! I heart my e30 even more now, awwwws.

    quick details: z3 rear, E36 M3 fronts, welded swaybar tabs, welded IE camber/toe kit, new control arms, new Bilstein fronts, new pads on all, new front rotors, used rear rotors (barely used), new IE urethane all over the rear, new cabby rear shock mounts, tons of blood-sweat-tears, full write-up (photostory!!) with alignment specs and stuff coming SOONish.

    <whoring>








    Favorite shot so far:



    no treehouse lollypops, but it still looks centered yes? I think so.

    This one has been brewing for a while on the back burner and this past weekend I finally got my ass in gear. Thanks to Cahomey, and tons of thanks to my uncle and JustinB for making this happen!!

    Thanks for the views. Comments welcome!

          Actually it looks like it is sitting a bit to the left. More gap between the right side of the tire than the left. But great looking car nonetheless! Good luck and keep us posted.

                              Looks good . :up:

                              If you are running E36 m3 ft struts why did you have to weld the sway bar tabs ?
                              The M3 struts already has the tabs on them .

                                      Totally sick, could still use some spacing in the front but I'm sure you're on it.

                                      Oh and nice "wash me" note on the rear valence

                                          Nice swap. The centering actually does look pretty good. What do you think of the E36 M3 front brakes?? I'm looking for the same bits for my car..

                                          Oh and I like the wheels. A lot.

                                                  The centering is close, but I think a tad to the rear yet. Bring that sucker another half-inch forward...you are golden.


                                                  Damn, that car looks hot.

                                                  The brakes look like you could stand that bitch on its nose.

                                                  Nice job!

                                                      Great job. I'm sure the car feels 110% better than before.

                                                          My guess is that he reinforced the rear tabs.
