[tehwickerman]

[HybridNz]

cheers fellas.

More soon exhaust is due to be finished .. and they the wireing and hanging of radiators will be next etc etc. Hoping for engine start up in the coming weeks.

Holy Shit, well done mate! Definitely subscribed to this one. Have you got any pictures of the car before you started tearing into it? I think I'm surprisingly liking the way the old school tech 1 kit looks with the more modern LM wheel!

What's the e30 scene like in the New Zealand/Australia part of the world? Do you have a hard time sourcing parts for a project like this?

Got some plans for my second set of LMs ... :) will post those later. NZ scene in general is very very strong .. and e30 wise a good chunk of that. Thanks to our local BMW series racing (e30 and open class)

I love when people post nearly complete builds like this!

That was some nice fabrication, clearancing the header for the steering knuckle!

Pardon me if it was mentioned, but what brake booster / master cylinder is that?

MKII Golf 1.3 UK booster.

Hello Josh.
Zorsts coming along nicely.

Oh the White / red touring for who ever asked before is for the BMW Race Series here in NZ. its a 318i ... looks hot however :) Will be finished later this year.

The place that Im using is a friends .. he has some pretty kick as BMW's in it. A mint Tech2 with 2.7 conversion and Tech2 with 2.8 conversion. couple of M-Coupes, 540i 6speed, Tech2 e39 540i MS, 325i Tech2 Cabbie in sterling grey and a bunch of other stuff.
There is talk of doing a 318ti s50b32 conversion and a v8 something conversion with a m60b40 tu

This is an older post of images of how the underneath was built .. more for you guys who haven't seen it. Yes it will be dropped down, I have a bit of panel work to do after the engine is all in. As you can see the wheels come out past the gaurds a wee bit.
