Clean, simple, creative.... Beautiful.
You sir have good taste and a trendsetter.

Thank you sir. Car is pretty much done. Interior back in, motor runs, new rotors and pads on and bled, clutch is bled, just need to throw the fan on it and bumper/valence. I'll have some pics after I pull it out of the garage for the first time in 5 months.

Is this making it out to SOWO?

Your car is one of the inspirations for the direction mine is headed. :up:

Thank you much man. Ill probably bring my camera out tonight and grab some pictures. Im having trouble bleeding the car as my radiator filler neck is now not the highest point in the system. So I may run an inline filler or drill/tap the thermostat housing. Not sure yet.

Its almost done, Ill be getting some pictures soon.

Also, ill be documenting how to do a plastic bumper swap on an early model E30. I know its been covered, but I figured Ill go ahead and add some more pictures and tips to it.

in to see how the radiator tuck turned out.

info on how you did the bumper tuck? I see alot of people do it and it typically makes the rubber around the lip deform and look cheap.

all the pics but that last few are "not available" but those final few pics, look really great. Nice work

If your still looking for a shift know you should check out the one that TRM sells, its pretty nice. Build is coming along great! Hope to see you at SOWO this year, mine should hopefully be bagged by then.

Amazing work mate. Very nice job. Keen to see a 'Completed' pic with rad hoses, loom installed etc

Have you thought about trying to move the fuse box and re-running the firwall cables in behind the dashboard?

Theres a few pictures on the last page of it.

I drilled the shocks and compressed them. Then redrilled holes in the valence for the plastic shroud.

I have a few pictures of it. Doesn't look much different, it turned out great. But thank you man, I have thought about it but didn't want to go through the hassle. I don't mind the fusebox in the bay. I wanted an oem looking shave, nothing crazy on the firewall etc. which is why I like the fusebox there.
