Hey guys,
I figured it's time to start a build thread for my E30 since I just started dropping money into it.
It's a little rough around the edges with a very small hole in the right rear rocker and a poorly repaired fiberglass battery tray, but it's solid in all the right places.
I'd like to get the body stuff taken care of eventually when I have the funds.
This just arrived today:
The starter doesn't seem likes it's fully extending at times and it makes a god awful noise. Hopefully this starter takes car of it and it doesn't need a flywheel.
I'm still waiting on all this stuff to come in:
I plan on starting by replacing both fuel feed and return lines as well as all the brake lines in the rear. The lines going into the "T" are pretty crusty. I ordered a new fuel tank from Advance for $180 after discovering there seems to be a leak where the fuel pump assembly flange is formed to the tank.
I also ordered a timing belt because although the previous owner seemed to take pretty good care of the car, I don't know when the last time it was replaced.
Hopefully after that I can get some new suspension bushings in the rear. We'll see how far the budget takes me.
I love the car and really just want to get it to the point where I can do some Autox events this year and maybe break into hillclimbing.
I'll post the progress I make on this build thread and hopefully throw together some how to's as well...
