So I posted this back in december: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...=192348&page=3
As soon as I bought it, I found a totaled 90' 325is on craigslist and bought that for 400 bucks (had lots of goodies). So I cut out the quarter panel from the doner car, swapped its Eibach Pro springs, Koni adjustable shocks, larger Eibach sway bars, Eibach strut brace, drilled and slotted rotors, Mtech 2 steering wheel, and many other good parts, including a decent condition entire black interior. Once I did all of that, I sold the kosei K1's for 300 bucks and the rest of the car for 400. (I made out pretty solid on that deal).
Along with doing all that, I did away with the mess under the intake on the M42, replaced various hoses, replaced injectors, cleaned everything up, and had the intake and valve cover powder coated. Once all that was done I went to town on the quarter panel. Started on the body work (which I learned that I do not have the patience for). Then I kind of came to a standstill, very lazy. Much rather booze it up on the weekend at the sandbar then sand and fill in 95+ weather.
Fast forward to about a month ago when I decided I needed this peice of shit finished and not just rotting under my carport. Found a body shop close by that looked like they did decent work, they gave me a good price, I dropped the car off and provided all paint (single stage Omni). Came to find out that the actual guy that was working on my car was super anal and loved his job, went above and beyond what I payed for.
So I got the car back today and am super stoked. It looks awesome, with the exception of some orange peel that i need to wetsand and buff out but all and all it came out way better then I would of imagined (for how much I payed the shop). ANYWAYS project is back on, and in full force. Will post more updates and better pictures soon.
This E30 is BACK from the DEAD!
