I'm trading some labor to have it built by a "pro" :)

Curious to hear how the diff build goes. Been debating on building one for my car since its tough to find a complete diff in the ratio I want for a reasonable price. I have access to the complete repair instructions from the BMW repair manual if you need any info or specs on putting it together.

Nice way to put all the things you did in order! Looks sound and good!

How the hell did I miss this thread until today? What an amazing look back.

And into the future ;)

what an ugly car.

yeah, that's really shitty. I hate irresponsible drunk people:hitler:

Once I get my car out there I really want to cruise out to the North Cascades.. Baker, Ross lake, etc.. Are there a lot of e30 cruises out there? seems like a pretty good scene..

[nando]

yeah, although I haven't been to any of those places in ages. chuckanut is kinda scary these days. Last year some drunk guy in a camaro raced off the edge of a cliff.. you can imagine the results.

exactly!!

I love this thread. Great look at the car's life while you've owned it! I love your dedication to the same car over so many years. So many people go through them like sneakers.

I also love seeing all the shots from the Washington scene.. I am moving to Seattle next week and looking to get into the e30 scene out there!! Baker and Lake Chelan seem like amazing places to drive.. Did I see Chuckanut drive in there too?

the struts actually cleaned up pretty well. unfortunately, the hubs were trashed (damaged threads). That explains this picture:


new hubs are about $200 for the pair...

[nando]

Hmm - I can't figure out what you're doing to that cluster...

Molesting it :p

I really have nothing to say but amazing build. Clean and thought out to perfection. Love it
