More updates later this weekend but here's a teaser.

Snagged these up locally on Facebook market place for a steal! After I put a roll bar in I'm gonna to do a custom rear seat in matching material.

sweeeeeet! nice little score.

Nice. The Recaros are in my opinion the best seats in the E30. I am surprised you don't plan on going with a rear seat delete.

With the roll bar it really wont be useable but I like the look of a complete interior

New exhaust time! Didn't really plan for this but the trans ended up in the way of my old setup so I decided to build a new one and with oval pipe. It really does tuck up in there nice I must say.

Also got the oil drain done, I had it ceramic coated with the rest of the parts aswell.

That is gorgeous.

awesome work! excited to hear the oval exhaust. I'm sure it's not a huge change in note, but probably a difference. That's great you can just do that.

really excellent welding there. Exhaust looks great!

Beautiful welds!

[nomansland92]

Lol thanks guys! 4 years of tig welding is finally coming together. These are definitely the nicest welds I've ever made. It makes me want to rebuild my turbo manifold because the welds are so bad on it lol, yet somehow they haven't cracked.

Looks sick. Might also be worth it to drop an extra bead on the seam. Those ovals like to crack right along the seam.

Oh ya like along the factory wells joint, I'll have to check into that.

Awesome build, im subbed.

Welds look great from the outside, but we all know (or should) that its the inside that counts, so show pics of that :D

I didn't take a picture of the inside unfortunately :( but i did back purge while I was welding so it turned out pretty nice on the inside also.
