84 318i - restomod

[Jordan]

there is not many clean e30s left in ontario so this will need to do :)
it is 84 so no more emission tests :)
the car with patchwork will be as good as new and it is not going for sale :)
the whole project is meant to be fun.

I agree with the likelyhood of all of that, the bolded of course is quite impossible.

I would have started with a good clean car... patchwork sheet metal FTL. I can't speak for others but if I were car shopping and happened across yours for sale, no matter how badass it may end up being in other departments, I'd walk as soon as I saw the patchwork.

What must the sides of that car look like with you rolling it on it's side on the concrete floors? I sure hope your dog does not bump one of those 2x4's when your working on it and roll an e30 over on you. You have a welder, build a rotisserie, and be safe.

car sits on two 6 x 6 blocks and body is not touching anything - only structural parts are resting on the blocks. 2 x 4 are not supports but only act counterbalance. there is no way that the car can roll over - it is not the first time I did it with a car.

p.s. i don't have a dog :)

progress :)

fenders flares and skirts will need minimal work - I test fitted them before and only rear will need some trimming - not much.

m10 turbo ftw

i would love to know more about your plans for modifying the ix flares.

auto is going :-)

the car is not meant to be a power monster but more of a summer driver.

the car is very light and it is resting on wooden blocks supporting the strongest points of the car.

make sure you keep the auto trans though. j/k
looks like a big project.
arent you afraid of damaging the side of the car rolling it on its side like that?

[Zorin]

people from Canada.... sheesh.
