Melon's E30 Build.

[Melon]

Almost done in the engine bay. Need a few misc. items to finish it up.

Put the grills back on for good, went with a chrome kidney grill instead of the black, for the classic E30 front end look.

Next weekend the dash goes in, and hopefully the headliner, will a key get turned?

Had a very productive day, finally work died down, and I'm getting over this nasty cold I've had.

Been about to get a lot done in the engine, and suspension. Front suspension is on, new hubs installed.

Got the alternator, and power steering pump installed, headers installed, among other various tid bits.

My restored gauge cluster should be in next week.

My goal of having the car running by the end of the year is well on track.

Wow they look good. I have HID in my ellipsoids but no power connected to the car so I have no idea how bright they are. Yours look pretty bright the way they are!

These are halogens, so the HID's should blow these out of the water.

They're about on par with other halogen projectors I've experienced. top notch for 1987, ho-hum by today's standards.

Thanks man!

Ellipsoids, with Sylvania bulbs. I'll put some new bright bulbs in once I get it closer to being finished. They also need to be aimed, again, it's on the punch list for final inspection.

Installed the brake booster, and got started on the electrical.

After several frustrating hours, I began to make some headway. Still don't have primary power to the IHKS, for some reason the hot wire coming from the fuse box isn't energized. I'll dig into that more.

Looks great, what lights are you running?

[Melon]

I like your project. Are going to wire rear fog lights?

Thanks man!

No plans for rear fogs.

Good to know, thanks.

Interesting. I've honestly never seen that slot filled! Thanks mate

That's because they never came in the E30 tool kit as far as I know. Most commonly found in the E28 tool kit.

Build is looking great!
