Wow good luck that would be an awesome job!

Going tomorrow out tomorrow to get a y pipe and welding it all up this friday! hopefully I'll have a decent exhaust clip for y'all!

yea i shouldn't complain too much, the paint on it isn't really that bad. i need to learn how to buff and detail a car since a good buffing would probably bring back a lot of the shine on the paint.

a good buffing definitely would help. Get that thing shining!

haha yes mechanically! The paint on the e30, for a track car, is actually in good condition from what i remember!

[kts]

so, your pretty much going to have 2 bangin bmws ahahaah

mechanically yes, body wise not as much. the E36 has some issues (mainly the flat black primed nose panel that i just don't care about) and the paint on the E30 is "OK" at best.

but they will both run and drive like awesome! :-D

I had a set of AST 4100s but I sold those. When I bought them the E36 was going to be the track slut but then I found the E30 and ASTs on a daily driver is kinda overkill.

Probably picking up a set of Bilstein Sports/H&R Sports from a local guy later this week. I have a set of H&R sway bars, the rear is on, I just need to do the front. Will probably pick up some Ground Control camber plates, and I have some UUC rear control arms to adjust camber. I have poly bushings for pretty much everything as well.

All over kill for a daily driver but I already bought it all so I'm just going to say F it and install it all. :)
