Anyone still here? Been a few years. In the process of building another one. Had sold both cars and eventually bought the lowered car back after 3 owners. Plan is just to build it the exact same as the last one since it worked great.

Glad to hear you're taking another go at it and please keep us updated!

Since seeing this thread, and a few other lifted E30s, months ago I've had an inch to get and lift an E30 as the basis for a Wasteland Weekend vic.

What suspension is on it right now?

E36 vert rear springs, blown factory shocks Front has a 1” ish strut spacer And blown factory shocks and still has a drop hats because I haven’t found a set of stock top hats to swap in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice!

With BaT, I'm sure it's gonna sell quick. Unless Chris pulls the ad, he was 50/50 on selling it I think when I shot it last week.

Some teases from the shoot, forgive the resolution. There are more pictures on my instagram of this beauty:

m3 offset lollipops or better yet SRS concept make very nice well priced adapters for e30 to use e46 lcas

i literally bought a 2 in lift spacer for the front of a f150 for like 40 bucks both sides and drilled new holes to match an e30 front strut tower. its just two piece of 1/4 plate and .120 wall pipe in between. also easy to make at home which is what i did in the back.

Killer sedan!

I currently am looking to build in this same direction. I have an 86eta sedan here in Mesa. Ive thought about it and resear hed some parts, but just realized you've been building one 20min away. Thats a trip.
I need all new suspension components on this car so i figure its a good time to modify.
Any info or direction on the e46 CA swap would be much appreciated. Im lost on what to do about the CA bushings.
I'm also super curious to see your strut spacer. I have thoroughly racked my brain trying to come up with a reasonable alternative to a spacer.

It looks great! Keep it up!
