    Lachssilber E30!

    Sup R3v,
    had a 91 alpine 318i for a while, wasnt feeling the m42 too much and i wasnt about the sedan life, so i got rid of it and now im on to my new project
    this is just all the things i have posted the past couple months about my e30 since i got it to now! Picked it up in February

    1987 325e m20b27
    240k on odo
    pretty clean body, some dings here and there and small surface rust here and there. interior is shit, has a pretty bad coolant leak from the water pump, should be getting that fixed soon.

    All around the car is nice, drove 100 miles home after i got it.
    i love the m20, and the color and just about everything about it.

    My plans, fix water pump, do timing belt, valve cover gasket, clean engine bay, replace just about all hoses, tuck bumpers, get other two rims, raceland coilovers, new headers, valve adjustment, euro grills, etc. have a good idea of what i want it to look like after everything so here it is.


    right after i got it.


    you can see the water on the ground. after i drive it somewhere you can hear the car taking a piss on the ground and a fat puddle under the car just about everywhere haha.

    tucked the bumpers
    you can see the surface rust, and the broken tailight.
    and has 325i emblems... its a 325e lol



    i got my Elefant Supply Co. tic tac m3 zip up



    and kopi euro grills on!


    more E30 fun! havent really had time to post lately but i got some new stuffs for me e30.


    i love this sticker...


    test fitted my bumper with the new late model valance and volvo lip.


    flipped the volvo lip, i like this look better


    had a night out with the homies!


    then a day to the beach with ma babe!


    finally painted my valve cover while i was replacing the water pump


    then visited arizona, and a couple of buddies and my lovely 87 red e30
    my friends m52 swapped 85, and my other friends delphin 86!

    this was after working on my car doing maintenance and water pump.... ended up they gave me the wrong water pump.... FML!!!

    this was at 2am
    more updates on the lachssilber
    wanted to go with the extra plastic bumper that i had for a little bit to see how i liked it.


    eventually i stopped liking it and wanted to go back to diving boards...
    so when i found a night that i wasnt lazy i switched back over to metal diving board upfront

    tucked the shit out of it.




    then had a random night with my girlfriends camera and decided to take some pictures
    they arent edited yet
    also did all red tails for now and got a wing on finally :)







    let me know what you think

    got a zender rear apron im getting ready to put on and a new muffler

    So here are some updates. went on another shoot with my friend
    got my new muffler on

    next is to replace my control arms, and get new shocks in, then im finally gunna go LOWWW!!!!

    More Updates
    so i finally got my BBS style 5 rz's shipped in from Arizona
    unfortunately im fixing my other 2 adapters so like always since ive had the car MISSMATCH RIMSSS!!!!!
    but only for a bit
    im also gunna sand down and repaint the rims oem silver
    I also retrofitted some side skirts on my car!
    i know i cut them a bit too short but i dont care



    a little out of focus :(















    cant wait to refinish and get the other two style 5's on.
    ALSO trying to figure out how to put on my zender rear apron so if anyone has a diy write up on how to put it on please let me know
    sounds stupid but i tried for hours.... and it dont fit right

    repainted my valance today and put new bumper trim in
    not the perfect match but close enough.
    and installed the brake ducts







    sup r3v havent updated in a while been dealin with life and tryin to survive lol
    its not really an update about the car as much but my life with the car in the past couple of weeks lol
    i know im not low.... and i need moar low but ive been broke. im getting coilovers with my first couple checks.
    Moved to a new house and Finally got a new job after being unemployed and broke for the past couple months

    finally washed it after a month or so!




    went up to richmond to chill with my friend
    he has a alpine 87 325is





    Ended up moving to a new pace and had to put all me stuff on my e30
    i guessed it would take 4 trips

    out of the old

    And into the new!

    This was probably the best part of the whole month

    traded my 16x8 BBS Reps for some 16x7.5 Borbet type A's
    i am very happy with them, running 20mm spacers all around.
    and the 205/45's federals from my bbs RZ's
    Oh and my new driveway and garage!

    some fisheye action


    A quick trip to 7/11 after i got them on!



    Like i said up there i finally got a job


    officially working at Oil Can Henry's in Soma

    a snap of the car while taking a smoke break.

    i need suggestions on what colors i should paint the borbets

      some updates 7/19

      so i did a small photo shoot with my car which eventually got shut down by the cops lol



      i took more but these are the only ones worth posting...

      so then i did a transformation tuesday


      when i first got it till now

      so then christmas came a little early :) i wish i took more pictures :(


      rear diving board off!

      modification for the surprise


      you can probably guess what it is now


      the previous owner made a really bad bracket for the rear bumper... it was such a bitch to get off


      finally got lowering springs on, and new rear shocks
      ground control coils, the rear is springs only as you can tell and it kinda sucks cuz after i got them i realized the rear springs were actually front springs, let me know if i am wrong and they are actually rears, they just arent that low...


      euro rear bumper bracket



      front euro is on, and the awaiting coilovers, these are just no names i bought so i can be somewhat low as i build up the ground control, more pics of that will come with the process of building them

      the rear is on, doesnt have any of the trim so if anyone has some for sale let me know!!!




      front on, i like the late model valance, i know there is a gap, which i will be sectioning out.

      what do you guys think?
