    E30 Bronzit Project

    For the last week and a half I have been spending hours on end getting this bronzit project going. First thing I did when I got back from Alabama was put it in the air to see what needed to be fixed. Boy did that car need work, the whole rear end basically needed to be replaced.... So I got those wrenches turning. I have done the following so far:
    -Changed oil and oil filter
    -Cleaned throttle body and MAF sensor
    -Ran Z max
    -Switched rear Control arms
    -Switched Diff to a 3.73 LSD
    -Switched axles
    -Switched rear Calipers and brake pads
    -Changed sway bar links
    - Put suspension on rear struts and springs and front strut
    -Switched front brake calipers and pads
    -Bleed brakes and clutch
    -Switched taillights
    -Switched HIDS and Ellipsoids
    -Switched passenger door power window regulator
    Finishing up interior tomorrow...I have had one heck of a week, but I have to say there's nothing better than staying up till late hours in the morning working on an E30. :mf_dribble:
    Also the alpine is now R.I.P....

    Enough with the tease here's some pics:

    Gota start somewhere


    The guy even was nice enough to throw in some slicks
    M tech steering wheel FTW

    She was dirty..
    This is where the fun begins!

    Right Before Alpine was gutted....:crying::crying:

      Let's fast forward to after I got suspension on and rolling.



      It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. I miss my Alpine dearly but the bronzit is my new project. I know the pics suck I'll try and get some better ones after I finish up interior. Hopefully the bronzit will treat me as good as the alpine, cause I sure did put more work into that bronzit than the alpine lol.

      P.S- Sorry for any spelling errors in a bit of a hurry

          what happened to the alpine?
          Hemingway said it best. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.”

              What happened to the alpine? It doesn't look like it has anything wrong with it.

                  Why i Bought the Bronzit :(:
                  I hydroplaned at 40mph, avoided a telephone pole and hit a ditch. It was a sad day I put a lot of hours into this little old alpine.

                            damn too bad about the alpine!

                            i had a similar problem with my 88 vert, but i didnt miss the telephone poll:(

                            but we can always use a few more sweet bronzits in the atl!
