Here's a couple shots of the engine, when I pulled th valve cover the head was like brand new, you could lick it...but of course I neglected to take a picture of the head, so here's a few post re-installation...

Looking good!

That thing has some serious 4x4 status going on lol. What are you going to be doing about suspension when you're done with paint?

[vlad]

nice progress, keep it up :up:

[freeride53]

Sir, what you have done is very nice.

Thanks guys, I got her started for a little, but the fuel pump seems awfully loud and stays on from the time I turn the jey to ON, until I turn the key OFF!

Denis, I'm not sure about suspension yet but I need something asap, the shocks are good Konis on there so I just need a nice low spring, was thinking about GC coilover springs, or BAVauto's, or maybe Eibach's etc.

But my new Dunlops came in that I'm mounting on the Black Borbet Type A's I bought for it :)

You brought it back to life! HELL YEA! Nice work dude.

Looks great, I especially like the rockers smoothed out with fresh paint. Looks A1.

Thanks everlast, looks like you've got a nice looking sedan yourself! Are those 17" wheels? What suspension setup are you running?

[everlast]

Thanks man. That's a pretty old pic actually, here's a slightly more recent one:



17", now with 215/45 star specs which fill in the wells much better, and ground control coilovers.

That said, I love the look of the early model, especially with euro bumpers obviously. Doesn't need to be as low to look right.

EXCELLENT work!!! Keep it up! The body looks fantastic and the paint looks very well done! Mad props man!

[metalsoul]

Thanks drutt23!!

This rare 323 now has an official new owner who I am completing the build for...more to come :)

Hats off to you man for saving that e30. We here in socal take rust free shells for granted. I cringe at the sight of rust.

As you can see from the pics, full brake job all around is next in order along with some Turner springs!
