        Wow. Looks so much different (in a better way) with the colored lights. What'd you use, that transparent spraypaint for glass or something?

            Yeah I don't know, for whatever reason with the clear headlights it kinda looked like a weird crossover between e30 and a corrado or something. Yellow, it looks like an e30 again

              Going to run e28 hubs in e30 trailing arms and move the shock mount.

              Haven't made much progress, 745i swapping my e28 so I can still have some fun while I build this car.

                  So it's been a while since I have bought anything for the car.
                  The 5 series is basically finished, just needs a few little things buttoned up.
                  Recently bought a 60mm JGS wastegate, S475 1.10 T6, and v bands.
                  Turbo is supposed to arrive tomorrow, and I will post how I plan to fit it then.

                    S475 finally arrived, fits just like I wanted. Very very satisfied.

                        Nice turbo choice, that Borg unit is stout, I run the SX300 91/79 and it spools quick. I'd rock those headlights, cool as hell.

                          I almost think those square lights fit the lines of the E30 better than round lights!

                          Either way, this is an awesome build! Keep it up!

                              Now I just need a proper turbo cam, and sell my current ls6 setup.
                              Thanks for the continued support!

                              As of right now I have the hubs pressed into e30 trailing arms, the rear end is next after the the motor and everything related is finalized. I will document it as I go

                                Huh. So I assume the e28 hubs go into the e30 bearings? Because I read the two bearings are different sizes. Maybe they've got a larger OD and the ID is the same?
