    Adam's Glacier Sedan

    Hey, my names Adam and I guess its time I posted a build thread for my E30. I've finally gotten it to a point that I feel comfortable sharing it. So here it is.

    The day i brought her home.








    Then did some maintenance. Timing belt, water pump, tstat, plugs, valve cover gasket, drive belts, oil, coolant.





    Went for a test spin after all the maintenance, felt like such a G I had to stop and take a picture.




    Got a sony head unit and hated how it looked in the dash, so I extended all the wires and stuck it in the glove box.



    Got a Grip Royal steering wheel.



    Got Jom coilovers right before christmas.



    The fronts fought me tooth and nail.



    How it looked immediately after the install, they settled alot since then.



    Mounted my steering wheel.



    Got a black valance to replaced the bent one on the car. Disregard the crooked bumper in the pic, its been fixed.



    Painted my bottle caps black, and mobbed around like this for a while.



    Got bored and took some pictures in my driveway.







    Domo has been my copilot in every car I've owned ha.



    Then the CPS decided to go out in the parking lot of my work. Replaced plug wires, fuel pump, and the ignition coil in the process.

    Doing work in the parking lot



    Love this thing to death, but my gas gauge doesn't work!



    Then I got some cheap wheels.

    Test fit.



    A little stretch.



    And that brings me up to tonight. I definitely want to go lower to pull off the wheels and tires.

    Then after that a E36 rack, LSD. And then start sourcing parts for some kind of motor swap.

    if you slide the two middle adjustment brackets out (towards the front of the car), your fairing won't bow inward at the middle like that.

    i just installed one last weekend. ;)

              Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.

                  Thanks, but a new hood is very low on the long list of stuff to do. haha.

                      Is there a rattle can color that is close to your color? I'd do that valance. I spray bombed mine and it's not an exact match to my color but close enough that no one notices. Cool project!

                        As soon as I take some pictures. I've got E90 drop hats in, and I got a horn delete plate coming in from grip royal.

                        I've thought about, but the black doesn't bother me since it matches the bumper. And the car is going to painted at some point so I'm not worried about it.

                          Sooo small update.

                          Let a friend drive, she decided to break my lip.



                          Stitched it up. And threw it back on. I also ordered another IS lip and its chillin in my room.



                          Did an oil change this morning, and threw on a grip royal horn delete plate.



                          Pulled my roof rack off.



                          I also put some E90 drop hats, and got my coils to go a little lower. I'll get some real pictures here pretty soon.

                          Also ordered a new brake light switch since I lost my brake lights.

                          When I get paid I'll be getting a new bumper, gonna be super rad.
