      Made it all the way to Portland. Only hiccup was still in Seattle when I stopped at my buddy’s house. Alternator locked up. Quick swap and back on the road.

          Three years in a row one of my cars takes best of show. Honestly, I didn’t expect anything this year. Especially with the level of incompletion and the amount of BMW in it, but I’m glad they appreciate all the effort that it took. My wife is the best too.

            Well done! Incomplete or not, it's an amazing build.

            Thanks for sharing your techniques for building custom carbon parts - have to say I never realised how much was involved!

                  what do people say when you pop the hood and tell them it's an e30? :)

                    80% think it’s just a motor swap and I typically I just leave it at that. The other 20%’s eyes grow a little bigger and bigger and BIGGER as I work through all the details and show them all the points of reference for an E30. Today I only got one moderately aggressive guy that couldn’t understand why I would do that. When I asked him to point out one single component that was better on the Volvo chassis than the BMW chassis he couldn’t and eventually just walked away.

                      Expansion tank:

                      The discolored plastic tank drove me crazy and they’re over $100 for a replacement, so I made my own.

                        Looks great, did I miss where you made the new valve cover? Either way keep it coming!

                          It was a while back. I’m pretty sure I put process pics up.
