          I need to make it to the picnic next year! I may drive out if my car is ready. Hope I will be able to see yours there!

                I am still waiting on OEM inner wheel arches - I refuse to do this project any other way.
                perhaps an option might be to split an oem e30 outer arch and add an inch of sheetmetal between the middle flange and where it drops down vertical.

                as we talked previously, i do have the pair on my parts car. i just don't think i'm ready to part with them.

                i'm really happy to see you posting here again though.

                      Wow. Amazing project, I can't believe I had not seen it.

                      Sorry about your car but this is awesome!

                        yeah, got a little sidetracked earlier this summer with my rescue project, a severely neglected E46 M3. I've now got it to the point of being my daily driver and I'm loving it. But now it's time to get back to work on this!

                            Beautiful! I know what you mean by getting side tracked. My E38 needs a suspension overhaul and its a daily in the winter, the E93 needed cleaning and some basic maintenance, all of that stuff I actually love doing but it takes away from the E30.

                            Keep up the awesome work.

                                Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the interior at this point. Now to tear it apart!
