this is the car that replaced the bmw i3 . It’s supposed to be a chill grandpa car . Automatic not lowered easy to drive . While it’s supposed to stay stock we shall see . I like the simplicity I do have a cow catcher for it I need mounting brackets and paint . Hopefully that’s the last big purchase . Then maintenance and keep it tidy

Cars looking great! Any plans for suspension? Mtech 1 kit to join the Mtech 2 car?

Momo mod 07 wood grain wheel with leather horn button . I like how it looks with the interior . I sprung a power steering leak so I’ll have that as a weekend project .

Window tint 35 all around and 50 on the windshield . A bit more maintenance is on hand . Valve cover gasket refresh injectors a couple vent and vacuum hoses fuel filter . Then I will get into putting on the cow catcher getting brackets lights and getting it painted

Only 2 people have really seen the car in person and love the interior . I’m very happy with it . So when I got the car the complete AC was removed . So yeah I did a full conversion kit half AC solutions half LCWylie . Worked out well once it was sorted . It was about 90 degrees when I was getting 50 . I’ve read that a 35 degree difference between t vent and outside temp is a orettt efficient system especially on an old car . It cools better than my other r12 e30

That's really impressive, I have the same kit on mine actually but I have a turbo sitting right next to the low pressure AC line and I think it's killing the performance from high ambient temps. I might see mid 60s at the vent on a 90 deg day. Yours sounds lovely!

Interior looking very plush. Did you go with an AC retrofit or redo the stock system? 50 deg is great, that's colder vent temps than any E30 I've ever sat in on a hot summer day.

So finally got the AC to work . The blend doors were stuck . Moved them manually and cosconnected the actuators . Blowing sub 50 degrees . Finally washed it and took it to the gas station for a drive . The filler neck leaks now . Also I think the premium amp went out . So I can finally put insurance on it and start to drive it around . Runs very solid

I’m having a hell of a time with this AC job . Now I’m having wiring problems . 40 years old car almost . Plus not being driven for 5 years . Busted a power steering hose also . In trying to DIY as much as possible . I do have another e30 and a daily driver truck so thankfully this is not a car I “need” anywho . I had to clean the garage so I threw the wheels on to make more space . These wheels just suit e30s AWDBOB has been really helpful with parts and knowledge for me . Thanks man

Maxilite 16x7 I didn’t want to deal with lug conversion spacers hub centric rings trying to make wheels fit . Yeah I know reps but brand new and direct fit made this ideal for me

[prisonerofdoom83]

I see your maxilites came in!!

Yes although I would have preferred cold AC over new interior or wheels . In reality timing belt cooling system all new AC full interior wheels and cluster rebuild was a big ask for 3-4 weeks time . But it will get there . New tires maybe next weekend

I made a mess of the AC system so I’m starting over . I think my evaporator contaminated everything . So I’m flushing everything and getting a new evap compressor and drier . New oil and recharge and see how it goes. Because of the AC fail I haven’t had much motivation . But managed to get 1 door cars on and dyed the rear shelf and out the rear seats in . It’s really hot in California so the motivation after work isn’t quite there to work on it

Damn, really brought that seat back from beyond the grave.
