Once the ackerman arms are made that sounds like an easy way to 5stud convert, thanks for posting

Agreed! It'll be nice to have this stuff available.

Here is the ackerman arm group buy link: https://s14net.vbulletin.net/forum/s...eering-knuckle

very cool!

It’s about time! And someone is manufacturing Ackerman arms on S14.net (I’m sure you saw that).

For any M3 guys reading this (or regular E30 guys who want to go 5 lug proper), KW is doing a preorder for E30M3 coilovers with a manufactured spindle! For the non-M3 guys, it sadly does not include the NLA ackerman arms, but for us M3 folk it is an exciting development considering that I don't have to chop up my stock housings. Cant thank mjweimer enough for putting me onto this.

Needless to say, I preordered a set of V1s.

Another year, another layer of dust.

Been hoping this thread got some updates, excited to see what's to come! Gonna be a really sweet ride once it's all buttoned up

Agreed- I am quite excited! My goal is to have it out here by the end of August. Once it's here I need to do a head gasket and a rear hub/bearing to get it running/driving. At that point it will be a "restore while you enjoy" type of project.

I'm going to need all of the finger crossing I can get. If the head isn't cracked things should progress smoothly. But I don't have any faith that it will be in good shape.

Dreams do come true. Great looking car.

Thanks!

Stop buying other cars

'tiz all part of the master plan :)

Looking good! I have no room to talk when it comes to project cars waiting on time in between other car work/projects....

However we do need some pics of the seats!

I forgot to grab pics of the seats while I was home! The fronts still need to be reassembled from shipping.

It is interesting- as I get older, anticipated timeframes for projects I hoped would be done in weeks are taking months, and so on. I do, however, think I've landed my two 'keepers', so I am less worried about timelines these days and more worried about taking it all in and doing it how I want to do it.

Visited PA this weekend. She’s still sitting- dusty and awaiting her new life. Stitched did the seats. She's almost ready to accept her new home in Indiana once I stop buying other cars.

Congratz man! Seeing E30 M3s to me are the equivalent to everyone else in the world seeing a Ferrari or a Lambo
