★ ★ Project Glacier | Make the E30 a Daily Again ★ ★
The weather was super nice yesterday so I spent the afternoon cleaning the garage in prep for working on my shitboxes.
I've been driving the E30 around when it hasn't been snowing even with the headgasket leak. It doesn't really leak that much oil so it hasn't been too bad. But earlier this week I noticed I got a bad clunking when accelerating near the top of first gear. Turns out my diff bushing is completely torn... so I have to fix that now. With the garage cleaned up and the warmer weather, I think I'm gonna put the car back on jack stands so I can finally get around to fixing it completely. This means I'll also be able to get A/C and power steering back in. I'll probably also go through the suspension because I think the shocks are pretty shot.

Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.
Decided to actually start working on my car today.
Got the car jacked up.
And I found what I expected... my diff bushing is COMPLETELY shot...
And then... with a bit more inspection I found some more interesting stuff...
So yeah... now I need another subframe. Hell yeah.
Luckily I have a friend with one so I'm good on sourcing one. But, this time I'm gonna make sure this is the last subframe I put in it so it's gonna get all the reinforcements and shit.
