Bey's 318is AlpineII version 2.0

[MR 325]

Man, everything you've done looks awesome! I'm lovin it.

My only gripe, the rear plate setup. It would look so much cleaner without the Euro plate.

[Bey]

Spring is here and I'm finally done with school so its time to start working on the E30!

In storage for the past year at my parents house.


Some of the parts I've collected over time.


Brand new MHW's! Thanks Nico!


Pulling out the panels and some of the interior...



Byebye black interior


Sparco harness bar test fit..


Fuh Raze mode :giggle:


Removed grills, kidney, headlights and trim off the bumpers...


Installed MHWs and euro plate filler.


It was semi hot so I decided to remove my tint. I tried the garbage bag trick at first but later found out that the tint was strong enough to just peel off without cracking or damaging it.









Bye Bye tint


Much better!




Slapped on my front euro trim and smoked kidneys.


Replacing the passenger side door lock. Looks like someone tried opening the door with a screwdriver...


Old vs. New


Old cylinder and tumblers removed.


New stuff


Tada!


Started working on the sound system and decided to tackle the rear parcel shelf first...

Old dirty shelf with custom speaker delete lol








Initial mock-up




Opened up the hole abit for the 6x9's


Trimmed the sides of the spacer so they will fit alot better. Thanks cjdontthink for the tip!




I was able to move it about a half an inch closer after trimming the side. This allows it to drop in place without hacking up the rear sheet metal.


Final results after using 2 cans of that fabric spray. Not bad!


Quick test fit of the rear parcel shelf. Perfect fit!




Ran wires for the 6x9's


Mounted up the front speakers and ran new wires also


Luke's world famous 10inch box getting prep'd.






Drilled out a hole for the amp wires






Nice tight fit! <3 Luke!




What a mess....


Removed the stock outer door sills.


New clips from the junkyard.


Bling Bling!


Interior almost done.


Back to the exterior...

Threw on the smoked headlights, smoked turn signals and euro grill.



Got the rear euro trim on also



Almost done!


Mods, please move this thread to project section. Thanks in advance!

nice car brotha!!! bummer about the slicktop. im still tryin to find a steal on one.
Enjoy version 2.0. already lookin crispy.

[dvck]

looking great as the old car was, too bad about loosing out on the slicktop though

did you have a bitch of a time removing the is spoiler?
any suggestions my spoiler has some sort of glue that i havent had the bother
to try to pry off, and how did you like the paint from paintscratch?

[Bey]

am confused. Still looks like your old car.

My old car(ver1) was a slicktop and the new one has a sunroof. I also swapped over some of my old parts from ver1 such as the RMs and MT1 spoiler which is why it looks almost identical.

glad you made it back into the scene and off to a great start!!!

awesome!
great comeback. the skirts look nice.

Congrats. Mtech I looks sweet.

wat paint did u paint the spoiler with?

I painted the insert part with Alpine White II 218 paint from PaintScratch.com and Wurth Flexible Trim Paint for the rubber part.

[Balleristic31]

wat paint did u paint the spoiler with?

[Bey]

whoa! NOX is really affected big time by engine temps too, change that thermostat!

Haha yea I'll get to that real soon. Im just waiting on my order from Tischer to come in with my BMW coolant along with a few other goodies. ;)

The rain finally stopped and gave me just enough time to do a few things to the new ride before it started back up again. So I grabbed my Mtech1 spoiler out of storage and installed it.

IS spoiler removed. yuck!


Cleaned up the rear trunk lid and prep'd the MT1 spoiler with 3M tape.


MT1 spoiler installed.




Done for now due to rain :(

So, Did you get hit by the E30 on the left of that first photo?
And pics of the e30 in your garage.

LoL naw I got hit by a lady in a Benz and no I currently don't have any pictures of the other E30 in the garage.

You sold ver 1.0 with the 'i' lip on it? Did you sell to a wrecking yard?

Yup I got rid of ver.1 with the "i" lip but it did'nt go to a wreaking yard. A fellow E30 enthusiast picked it up to part out.

No, he got hit by some girl on her phone...
Glad to see you're back in the game! Come out next friday to San Bruno!
Still have the e28 as well?
Matt

Thanks man! I was going to head out to the meet last night but it started to rain and I figured no one would show up. Yup I still got the E28.

Wow sad to see another one go... Mine was also rearended by a girl on the phone a few ago. These cars hold up miraculously in heavy rear end collisions.

Yeah these cars do hold up really well. I prolly would have been in the hospital if I was driving my EK hatchback instead of the E30.

Where you at in the Bay Area?
Im in San Jose
Sad to see version 1.0 go.
good luck with 2.0.
I have a pretty clean dash you could buy

Im located in the Eastbay. I actually have a nice clean dash that the PO gave me so im good. Thanks though!

Dude come get yer old dash!!! New car looks great!

Haha Val actually gave me a clean one so just sell it. If you still can't get rid of it then I'll pick it up for my '84 LoL.

Small update...

Got the car smog'd for owner transfer.


I knew the car would pass without any problems so I drove straight to the Smog shop which is about 9miles away from my house without warming up the cat really good.
I guess I was wrong LoL. Failed the 15mph test.


I got a retest the following day after my daily 90mile commute back from school and passed with flying colors!
