      I did it to my first e30 in 2003, when did you do yours? But...you had pictures of it on the internet before me, so yes I stole it lol.
      Plus I'm German so it is all good =)

      Update
      Bought new WP, timing belt/tensioner. Then bought a new thermostat housing/cover and 71 degree stat and all seals/gaskets.

      234k on the engine and it was sitting for 4-5 years, so I figured it was best to replace that.

      This is all I have for now till the big brown truck arrives!

                Did you get your spacers yet? Do they fit nicely?

                Do you still need that intake boot?

                  Thanks Frank, today I skimmed coated the sunroof delete, then repaired a shit fender till I can find one. Seats are modded and I am just waiting to install them tomorrow(pics).

                  Spacers are not due till tomorrow afternoon or something. Thursday is inspection and wheel alignment. And yes, that one Dnick sent me was for an automatic. I'll send you a text in a few minutes for a time to meet up.

                  things left to do:

                  Weld on old exhaust(new 3" is a week out)
                  Install Condor Speed poly mounts and alum PS delete block.
                  Wire up high beams.

                      8380 labs told me spacers are due tomorrow...sigh missing my inspection at 9am and alignment at 11am. Let's hope I can get everything done before 3:30pm Friday.

                      Did the timing belt, WP and ten, then did the poly engine and transmission mounts and PS delete block from Condor speed shop.

                          Went to the gas station for some drinks. Video footage was on the way to Gary's U Pull it.

                            Just a short video after meeting Swanny, I wanted to show the travel from the insane suspension setup I am running. Uploading a few more right now.

                                It is insane man, the handling is like nothing I have been in before. I will give you a ride in it sometime soon.

                                Did you get the bottle caps? If not I have 4 sexy ones at my house.

                                One of the reasons I went to the scrap yard was to weight my e30.

                                Stock is 2,850lbs With the roof rack and 1/4 tank of gas I was at 2,420! roof rack is 27lbs so I busted the 2,400 goal I had(by a tiny bit).
                                I have a lot of things to remove and replace(carbon fiber). My end goal is to bust into the 2,100lbs range.
