Bringing a Ohio E30 back to life**now on bay shave

[gart]

Haven't done much or updated in awhile. As of now, I found a rear bumper and it's installed. Waiting to paint till I figure the rear valence situation out. Motor is out of the donor car and have the m20 out of the cabrio. Starting to acquire the swap parts needed here and there. Hopefully the updated will start rolling in a little quicker now.

And here's a few pics.

And I picked up this 4 speed beauty because I have so much free time!

Bringing a Ohio E30 back to life

Got the hood resprayed, interior back in and prob a few other things since the last update. Finally washed it and took a few shitty pics.


Still need to shoot the mirrors and find a rear bumper but I don't care. I'm driving it.

Man small world. It's been about 12-14 years since I've been there, grew up in Willoughby myself. If it's anything like it used to be, watch out for bad drivers and cops lol.

Gets even smaller. I lived in TX for six years, made my way back to Ohio a few years ago. Haha yeah that's about how I remember it...I'll bring popcorn.

Let me know. I keep hearing about Annabells from people at work. I'm in Willoughby, so only probably about 15 min away.

For sure. I may be being optimistic, but I'm going to try for Friday. Still have to do timing belt and water pump so it doesn't blow up on me this summer.

Yeah, that's the place I was talking about. I'm honestly not sure but plan on taking a drive up there to see when it's all together. I honestly haven't been there for close to 15 years lol. I'll prob have my glass guy out to put in the windshield next week so maybe I'll go see next Friday.

^ thanks, I'm hoping to have it cruising soon! Really itching to drive it and see how much of a difference all this work has made. Let me know if you need any help with anything, you're not too far. Hoping to start hitting the valley view Quaker State on Mondays and get some Annabells nights in too.

Car is looking great, keep it up!

Side note, they're still doing Annabells? The little place in Mentor behind the Classic dealerships?

Got most of the front end bolted up today and the brakes bled. Went for a short drive down the block and its a night and day difference to say the least. I can't wait to really drive this thing!!

Nice man - hope to see that thing around soon! Been trying to drive mine but there's still few teething problems post engine swap.

So, it's starting to look like a car again! Got the rear brakes buttoned up today, ride height set and camber good enough to get it to the alignment shop. Chipping away at this thing.


Looks amazing when the sun catches it just right.

Nice progress! You are moving quick, a friend has a similar project he will be tackling soon.

Thanks!! It doesn't feel quick though.

Well I finally got color in the whole car. I have a few random pieces left like the mirrors, and whatever else I find but that might be it. I'll let the paint set up for a day or two and start slapping panels back on.

And here's some crappy lit cell pics. I'll get it out in the sun tomorrow for better ones.

Been super slacking on this thing lately. Got some work in today. It's all prepped and taped for paint. Have to block a few small primer spots and will shoot color tomorrow as long as the weather permits.
