Hartge early model project.

[Vtec?lol]

They look the same.

You're going to need a heavy compound and buff wheel to restore those

[Der Ruffian]

Well No, its only the left lens on the lowest step, that needs to be redone.
They actually look quite good know except for that one lens, that I didn't sand Down.
But I don't think that lens can be saved, and I can just buy a new lens and refit, so no big problem :-)

Saw my baby yesterday (she's not at home, because the garage is currently occupied by my other project car.)
And came Down to two engines for the car.
First one's an ETA, and if I can't find one, then I might build a 2,8 stroker using the
M57D30 crank and M20B20 connecting rods and M20B25 pistons.
Head is going to be build by a guy called Lund8200, he's quite a wizard with the M20 heads.

Bought this today.

Painted red.

Brakes with red calipers, needs to be repainted.





What front rotors are those?

I have the same AC Schnitzer strut bar like yours. I have a e30 project I am adding AC Schnitzer parts on to the car.

[Der Ruffian]

I think front rotors are Zimmermann.
They can be found on the german ebay.
Is it a late or early model ACS you're Building?

[e30m3s54turbo]

The front rotors look large that's why I asked about them.
It is 88 e30 m3 s54 turbo with AC Schnitzer parts.

[Der Ruffian]

They're the same size as the original ones.
Yes, saw that it was a M3 you're Building, after I posted ;-)

[ZM Blue Devil]

in for the build!

[Der Ruffian]

Next up is cleaning of some more, and painting it red.

[Der Ruffian]

Well Things have taken quite a turn around for this one.
I have decided to go full AC Schnitzer on this one as well, I have the parts ready for it.
Parts I have ready for this one is:
AC Schnitzer S3 late model bodykit.
AC Schnitzer S3 mirrors.
Recaro Idealsitz N (81) in Brown patterned cloth.
Mtech 1 rear seat with armrest and headrests.
AC Schnitzer 16x7,5 Wheels.
M20B27 high compression ETA.
AC Schnitzer M20 headers.
AC Schnitzer silver dead pedal.
AC Schnitzer E-brake handle.
Startec taillights.
And probably a ton of other parts I have lying around in my cellar.
First thing that's gonna happen is, taking care of the one rust Whole it has, and then I need to find out how much of the car that needs to be painted, to avoid any color differences.
And this pains me a lot, as this is one of the best original paints I have ever seen in Denmark (due to the use of salt on the roads, but this one is a low km German import in 2007), but the PO removed doors, Hood and trunklid, so I have the parts from my golden E30 that needs respray in Cirrusblau.
I will update once we get rolling with this one, but it might take a month before anything happens, because of an E28 that needs taken care of first.

Went on ebay today and bought myself another part for this car..
A 3 spoke 36 cm AC Schnitzer steering Wheel.

Interior is finally coming togehter, so all I need to find now is to find a perfect condition floor carpet.
