The penIS mightier!

I don´t know if I would call it fun, but it´s better than moping around at home : )

I really enjoy reading his threads but I can´t justify putting Jordan level work into this or any car. I would be too afraid to drive it or park it anywhere.

I want to make it special in my own way, but still be able to take it out and drive the piss out of it without worry.
Maybe a subtle race car livery/pinstripe, itb´s under plexiglass/mesh and some old school Rial Cobras. We´ll see, right now i´m taking it one step at a time.

Not everyone needs to go as balls deep into their E30 as Jordan does. It certainly results in something special but not everyone has those skills, resources and most importantly time.

Im excited to see this updated more!

looks like you are having fun.

I have been wanting to address some issues for a long time but after a recent separation and loss of my dog I lost interest in everything.

Looking at Jordans IS rebuild with some envy lately. I decided that I could keep hoarding money, but one day soon I´ll most likely have a stroke or heart attack and someone else will get to spend it for me. Why not spend it on myself and maybe feel some motivation in the process.

This won´t even come close to what he is doing. Just aiming for refreshed daily driver, so rust repair, re-paint, address heating/air con issues, suspension refresh, maybe even some itb´s.

I convinced myself I was able enough to take apart the car, so armed with a screw driver and socket set, I went to it. All parts go into labeled baggies and pictures get taken for things that i know i may forget. After a day this is how it sits.

The biggest task is to take apart the dash and carpet to look for hidden rust and fix the heater core or valve leak that is spilling coolant into the cabin.
Carpet is fairly soaked and blue from the leak. I wonder if I should treat myself to a new carpet from the dealership or try to salvage this one.

Front and rear glass will come out. Not sure how to remove the rain gutter and door trim, so i may just leave those on if I don´t feel like taking them off.

I´m not sure if I should change the colour from Brilliantrot, to Henna or Rosso Corsa.







Would like a set of these but 4x100 sets are few and far between.

Bringing this back from the dead.

Latest pictures of the bane of my existence


After years of putting it off, i´m finally putting on the side skirts that have been collecting dust in the garage.

A day at the Zoo.

Hey Guys, thanks for the props. I was in an accident last year with this car and was torn between scrapping it or fixing proper and keeping it...looks like i´m keeping it :D

The Motorsport handles are from r3v´s RobertK. While i found them on the pricey side, i knew i had to have them when i saw them. Let´s hope he makes more of them.

As for the wheels, what i really would like is a set of 16inch Borbet B´s or style 5´s. I´ve looked for the Borbets and i can´t find anything on this side of the atlantic. I would settle for some style 5´s but the thought of redrilling puts me off.

For the time being i´ll just drive it around with my dago mustache and my greasy hair.

That's Ape Tit! :)

looks clean

Need more black lip. Oh and different wheels and is/touring sides are an excellent addition to your already stellar looking car.

Are those handles OE or is it aftermarket? Looks good

[randomsv650]

Where did you get those door handles?

Probably from RobertK.
