Finally got me a e30 vert, say hello to Nina

[ZM Blue Devil]

Looking really good - but still sits kinda high for my taste. What size spring pads did you use?

I have the stock pads...I think it will settle a bit more, but not much. it drives and handles great.

I was wondering how bad the fit was with the Zender Diving Board apron was with euro bumpers. Maybe you'll find one for the euro's. I've been keeping an eye out for one, for Coco Savage. For quite awhile now, with no luck.


Can't wait to see when you are done with this car.

Nina looks beautiful!!...man I wish I had the time to get mine even remotely ready for the 8th....on another note...will the zender rear valence fit stock plastic bumpers?...I'll call you tomorrow to further discuss...although its just going to delay getting my vert road worthy...LOL

Thanks, looking forward to meeting up on the 8th, bring the touring right?

Oh man, if I didn't have to go to CT I would have been there. Looks great! Damn zender doesn't fit! All that body work too... we will figure something out.

Beautiful. Look for a Zender rear euro valence like JasonC has on his coupe. Those are hawt! (as are the Alpinas :P)


Also, did you paint your rear plate filler? Mine does not look as black and it kinda irritates me.

Thanks! The filler is new from Mel, I applied armor all on it before install. If yours is dull just paint it, comes right back...

OK last update for the weekend. My fuel gauge was not working. Figured it was the fuel sender, so I remove the seat, remove the cover to replace to sender and what do I find... A little friend was hungry. Quick wire repair and the gauge now works.




And the last pic of the day. Took her out for a quick spin. She is almost there. Hope to get the front valance on along with a few minor things and she should be ready to go for the meet on the 8th.

Thanks again for all the comments and support. I cant take credit as all I did was copy from the people who done it before here on the site.

[Kwaaahhh]

Looks great so far Levent! Looking forward to see what you do with the front!;)

Too bad about the valance. Everything else looks great though. Love the helpers!!!

Rear bumper day!

So this morning I went for the rear...

Thanks to David for his write up. It was perfect. I took some pictures so hopefully it will help others. I hope I did it right, the fitment is good so I'm thinking I did.

Here is the write up I used...

The Euro holes can be seen pretty easily on the inside, not as easy on the outside.





I installed the bracket on the bumper since I didn't know which one and which direction it would fit.



You can see how the bracket bolts are offset.




hard to see but the longer and smaller bolt goes on top, where I drilled the new hole. The bigger bolt goes in to the existing US bumper hole.







My helpers... Making sure it lines up right.




I removed the brackets from the bumper to mount the brackets to the body.




Lines up pretty well.















In case you were wondering... the Zender DB rear valance does not fit on euro bumpers. Darn it.:(:x:tsk:



The snaps behind the rubber trim is pretty warn, I have new ones coming along withe bumper ends/caps. Should fit pretty tight with the new clips and the end trim pieces should clean up the ends.

i love those Alpina's in your cabby.

[YAN-3]

nice progress. cant wait to see whats next

[ZM Blue Devil]

thanks Julien, your cars always serve as insperation.

I have been looking for a wind deflector, found one on eBay but the seller changed their mind after we made a deal

I may have breakdown and get a new one... If anyone has one please let me know!

ZM

[Julien]

you should really get a wind deflector for it when you have the opportunity, it really makes a huge difference.. Drove in 44 deg weather with the gf (with heated seats on, heater on and net in place) and my girlfriend didn't even mind!
I love mine!!!

Awesome progress!!
