Bronzit 4-door Swap... Wait what??

[nickflic3]

Ok that's a much better story... Sorry for the loss and the hijack, let's see more car!

Thanks and np, I was actually wondering how ppl would take me posting pix of "life" in my build thread. To me it's very much a part of it.

MOAR. Ive been keeping this thread in a different tab. IDK why. But I admire the 85 ETA/ college kid/ low budget builds.

Maybe because Im in the same boat

haha yeah it's been tough but my parents found it in them to be a bit supportive of an idea they hate so much.

I'll have the final update to make this thread current up by tomorrow.

You won't believe how budget this gets :nice:

Dont go plastics...you'll be like everyone else. This car has character - how many people actually rock early four doors? Go euro bumpers and rock that shit hard!

Yes hahahaa. I've probably spent only about $600 on my E30 haha.

Dude no lie I think I'm right there with you at 600 in parts, if not less haha

Getting the hook up is awesome. Keep it up!

[nickflic3]

Thanks man and yeah defnitly awesome; my shout out list is going to be so long when I get to compiling it

[TimKninja]

Yea Ive definetly put a bit more in. Converting mine to 5 speed and rebuilding the top end definetly cost me round a thousand. Wish I was moar low budget.

[nickflic3]

The stench of fuel is killing me right now...

Updates after I have dinner

[nickflic3]

Tired and I'm getting a headache...

Nonetheless, where were we??

Oh yeah, bad news... Well in the time all that went down and I continued to drive the e30 on a bad gasket, my dad kept getting threatened with a
$5k fine for lawn upkeep -________- Long story short, after many visits, letters, and appeals for more time, we finally got around to it.

Sod supplier was supposed to come at 11... Dad woke me and my bro up at 5AM that Sunday telling me to move my car and that we're starting early :yawn:
(Tire tracks are from the truck)




Dad waay over there haha Soon realized the front lawn is unnecessarily big :shock:



Found bricks in the back yard and I was put on brick duty (lined them up along the driveway to make it a bit wider) while everyone else laid sod. Finished about the same time




The next week I got bored and decided to redo my yellow high beams cuz they were so dull.


Came out so yellow they almost looked green!! My grandma went on a walk and told me I left my headlights on lol

I decided to change it up a bit since I didn't have money for lamin-x








Looks much better to me; almost like the Hella 550 fog lights




Now the fun part... On my way back from school one day I started to feel more jerky movements than the usual with my stiffer suspension. More of a back and forth motion than up and down. When I exited the freeway the car was idling loudly like I had a major exhaust leak or something and it sounded like a Subaru with a fart can Picked up my sister and drove home and parked it where it sits today :(

Too tired to give you everything up to date now but here's the tare down

MY milkshake brings all the girls to the yard :giggle:











Done for the night


More tomorrow!

[jp_slick]

cool story bro, now ffw to the part where i do work :)

[nickflic3]

lol! Your all over this man; suspespension was like all you XD

Ipl post tomorrow; tired and just glad I didn't blow up my car trying to start it today :crazy:

[JakeP]

mmmmm, I motor! I'm glad that thing isn't sitting in the shop anymore. Put the thing to use!

[glucklich21]

Ah suburbia, full of rules and regulations. My parents got a letter in the mail not too long ago because my E30 hadn't moved in awhile. Mind you it was parked next to the garage in its own space. Why did they get a letter? Because our pompous security/deed enforcer thought it was inoperable because it hadn't moved in 2 weeks. Well news flash, it's not going to move for 2 weeks when I'm not there. Only my dad can drive a stick and he isn't exactly inclined to driving my e30 unless he has to.

We've also gotten a letter about our utility trailer being parked in the same spot, me working on my E30 in the driveway, someone complained about me working in the garage?!, and other little bullshit.

[Kershaw]

^ fuck that shit.

i'd tell them to go fuck themselves. i'd never move to a place with an HOA.
