e34 DD build, everyone's doing it...

That is a beautiful car even without the paint. It seems as if the Georgia boys build some really nice cars.

Its a V8.. LOL. So you use the same shocks from an e30 in an e34. HMM

[catuned]

Dont be.. If my motor goes it's thousands.. Plus you have a nice ride! ;)

[Jb325is]

Love the E34 cars and your progress!

Here is my E34 M5...

Awesome, I'm jealous!

E34 love
;)

You're front struts look shorter. Do you have the P/n for the shortened bilstein?

V8 wagon? Don't see many of those. The strut housings are shortened 2.5" and I'm running Konis from a Corrado. IIRC, the part number is 8641-1198

School ended yesterday, so I got back to work on the car. Just working on blocking now, it's tedious but cool because you can kind of see the final product when you're done

Here is the difference, top blocked and the bottom still primed with guide coat



Missed a dent.. Oops



Today I blocked the fender and both doors. The back door hasn't been aligned yet, so yes, the body line is a little off. But wetting the car down after blocking will show waves/dents etc and it's looking SLICK! Hoping to have it all blocked in the next week or so, but everything thus far with this car has taken 10x longer than expected so we'll see

Awesome Jonathan! Killing it as always!

[Jean]

nice progress man

[hcash]

You are my hero. I love the M30. I've got three m30 powered cars in my driveway and the e30 awaiting one. Can't wait to see it finished.

[Jb325is]

Finally got started on the car again.. Today DA'd the whole car down, taped it up and sprayed 3 coats of SPI 2k Primer. It's good seeing the car all one color finally. I need to sharpen up some body lines and I'm sure blocking will show a few low spots, but it looks really straight and slick so far. More updates soon

awesome :up:

I just picked up s52 e34 and I understand how you get hooked on these things

Nice, I know that car. He kept the wheels, correct? What are you planning on putting on it?


As for my car, haven't done much on it other than more sanding. Trying to get through the end of the semester first, then I'll hit it hard over break. On top of that I had a mishap with my e30, which had me looking into LS1 swaps for it. Then I found out my e30 wasn't as broken as I thought it was so I'll be keeping the m30 in it and am seriously considering LS1 swapping the e34

E34's become very addicting.
