    E30 with S50 swap project.

    About 3 weeks ago I bought a 91' 318IS for myself since I'm giving my highlander to my pregnant wife. My cousin is helping me out pretty much with rebuilding and cleaning the car. He is also a member on here and has a build threadhttp://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=230630

    Here she is!


    Couldn't wait any longer and had to strip her out to begin cleaning.




    Finally got the bumpers,fenders, and windows out.


    Here's a picture of my cousin when we finally got the engine out!!!:D:D:D


    Picture of the engine bay, going to clean it soon!


    But for now this is how I'm getting around

          It's pretty clean except for all the hair from the pet, it's pretty hard to clean. I just bought a steamer so hopefully it helps with the scent and also with removing the hair. I plan on swapping later on in the future. For now I just want to replace bushings and cleaning the engine and such.

                          Wow, all that to "clean"? You're dedicated! I can barely get my car to the car wash! LOL

                          Can't wait to see how it turns out.

                                                  Looks like your build is off to a running start! Going to be the same color?

                                                      I thought the truck was going to blow up. But yes it's going to be the same color.
