CAtuned *** E30 Sedan Build *** DONE PAGE 6

[catuned]

Rear End went in today. New fluids. Braided lines are done..
Front of the car is apart. Pulled the bad rack out. Installed the E36 m3 rack along with new inner and outer tie rod ends. Washed all of the metal that came off since it had 3 or 4 years of oil build up. Replaced the Engine mounts. Forgot my camera at home :(

Oh and new headbolts went in as well.

Previous owner gave me very limited info. So I would like to get any info you may have. Thanks! :)

:up: I'm glad it went to a enthusiast. Everything you have done looks great!

Update time:

Mounted the Steering wheel but still need to put in the quick release and wire up the horn


Pulled the Rear end out


Replaced it with a LSD Unit 3.73


Replaced the Axles


Installed the Rear Steel Braided lines. Also got some parts in for some upkeep and repair:


Will need to replace the old head bolts with updated units as well as replace the oil pan gasket and install the e36 M3 Steering rack.

Tell me about it. Zip ties, zip ties.. Im redoing everything. Short cut this short cut that.
That's not how I do things. Or how anyone else should either

[whodwho]

Good eye.. Yes sir already have that planed. Head gasket was done by the previous owner but for what ever reason they decided to save $25 so I will for sure do that.

:eeek: They reused old hex head bolts?!?! Scary!!

Nice work man!

[catuned]

Clean car!

I noticed it still had hex head headbolts, you should swap those out (you can replace one at a time without disturbing the head) as they are know to break.

[catuned]

Sweet man! Wanna sells it???? :)

I end up selling almost all my e30's and we have a bunch of them. Well like 4 or 5 that were doing right now. This give me money for the coupe restore/ project. It's killing me. No more $ left.. lol

this one reminds me of your delphin e30, the color is kinda similar, dipends how you look at it, but still different. not a color you see every day :up:

Very True
