Been doing work on the #onroade30 but going to try and make it to tucson rally X this weekend.

yeaaaah buddy.

Is your Rover red now? I thought it was white? (previous picture in thread) Intentional, to have an all red fleet? haha

[AZRRC]

sold the rover and bought a 76 f150, and ya unintentionally the fleet has turned very red. The e30's are both 89 4 door 325i

At what point did you switch out the control arms? Did they eliminate the rubbing in the front?

[AZRRC]

I put the arms on and on of the ball joints was bent so i switched back to stock arms for now. I have no rubbing in the front, only rubbing i had was on the valance which i removed.

Thanks for quick reply thinking of doing something similar in the future. Very cool build!

I'm mimicking your tire setup with my truck. Do you mind if I ask you what your spacer looked like? Do you have pictures?

[maddman139]

yeah i second that can we see pics of the rear sub-frame repair as well as the front spacers. thinking of heading that one off at the pass when i have the cage welded dont want to pull out the subframe mounts while out in the desert

[AZRRC]

Here are the pics of the subframe repair, we also welded a plate where the bolt goes through the floor.

I don't have any pictures of the lift spacer, but it is two round plates spaced about 3/4"-1" and bolts to the stock upper strut mount then bolts to the strut tower using the factory holes. I have easily 20k thousands of miles on them with no problems

I love this build, any pics or info on the front strut spacers? I'm trying to build my own offroad E30

[AZRRC]

Been awhile since i posted, car is still going strong! built a roof rack and added a light bar with 5 KC HID lights. Ill post a better picture of the rack. Im going to mount a full size spare on the roof

Gah....so freaking awesome!

I'm almost done with my E30/S62 swap and this makes me want to get a 4th e30 for the driveway and do this to it! I'll cover every fun area.

Red E30 325i S62 track car
White E30 Seta/built motor daily/hotrod
Red E30 318is GF's daily
and an offload beast machine!

I still want to do a baja e30! That would be sick!

And the fact that these are some pretty basic parts to stuff in there makes it even more tempting!
