Let's make an E30 M3! (M3 S14 cabrio clone project)

That's a kick in the pants. Keep your head up!

Got some bad news this morning.

ECS have updated my order for the e30 M3 convertible fenders, saying they are backordered with no ETA. Really sucks for me as I triple checked with them that they could get them, my status was "Product Inbound", so I sold my coupe fenders locally.

Now I have to rebuy coupe fenders and modify them, unless some miracle happens. I'm going to keep my order open just in case, as it'll be a while before this thing is ready for paint. Worst-case scenario I run the coupe fenders, and if one day I come across vert M3 fenders I can paint them and bolt them on.


Really bummed out about this turn of events.

what are you going to do about the trunk? Keep it clean with no spoiler? Shave the 3rd brake light? Zender M3 rep wing? F&F wing?

No wing, no 3rd brake light. Just like BMW made 'em!

This build makes me want to get a vert.

Man, I sure hope your fenders come through. I am waiting for this to order mine.

this build has me nail biting.

Finally got wheels on the ground. Rear subframe is refreshed with new subframe bushings, SS brake lines, and swaybar endlinks. The diff bushing was starting to go bad, I have a replacement but didn't have any success removing it in-situ. I'll pull the diff cover later and press it out on the bench.

Otherwise things went smoothly, hoping to get the driveshaft in tonight. From a mechanical standpoint, all that's left then is all the various reconnecting/buttoning up in the engine bay.

Getting closer!
