The springs and shocks
And the bumpers
Now that the weather is warming up I will be able to get more done. Look for more actual updates in the next couple weeks!

Nice, Im doing a similar swap into my 84. Mine already has the plastic bumpers. Front is super easy, but the rear will need to get trimmed. The tech section of R3V shows how to chop it up. Looks good after but the late model rear valence will make the car look amazing. The motor in the lightweight body will be a ton of fun.Simon

Alright so i have been slowly working on the e30, but have been busy with my truck and my new (old) tent trailer.
But i have picked up some more parts
M-tech 2 wheel wrapped in alcantara
Depo smilies
Blackouts fogs
Apex Arc-8 17x8 satin black wheels
Tonight i scored some Ground control coil overs from the junk yard, $50 for the lot, only missing one rear spring
I moved most of my future/ spare parts into a storage locker
Tonight i installed my s52 cams, got the timing all set up. I am waiting to insyall the vanos until my sprocket tool shows up
I hope to start getting more done regularly. thanks for looking!Last edited by Jurt; 09-09-2013, 09:12 PM.

Well I did a huge clean up and organization project on my garage, now that its done i can actually work. Here is the garage now, still full but everything has its place.
So today i got the front core support removed, it has a couple extra bullet holes from the spot weld cutter, but it was my first time. I also cut out some of the brackets i wont be using. I also started removing the rotted sound deading on the firewall.

what are you doing for the brake booster/ master setup? I went with the iX setup for mine, but since I dont have ABS it created a small headache. Id recommend slotting the stock one over even though I still hate that approachSimon

I am going with the e32 735i booster and master, with the 2002 remote reservoir. Like this
(not my picture but exactly what i want to do)
From what i have read everyone has been happy with this set up, and i lucked out and got the booster and master from my local junk yard to it was pretty cheap to get the rest of the parts.

do you have ABS? if not, you will run into the same problem as me. Non-ABS cars have 3 brakes lines going into the master, the ABS cars only accept two brake lines. We bought a factory E30 "T" splitter and had the two front lines run into the "T" then bend a new line from that, into the Master. The factory splitter is under the car in the backSimon
