Im so excited to see how well this turns out. it is, after all, the complete opposite of what we usually do!

[assoutE12]

Nice, I have been planning on doing something similar with my E12 once I get my Tacoma/E30 where I want them.

updates?

[James Crivellone]

Alright, status update, got the new wheels and tires all setup, they look awesome in my opinion!

Obvious no engine in the car yet, hence the weird ride height

I don't particularly care for the centercaps, but nice otherwise.

BTW, happen to have a new starter in you pile of parts? I have one for sale in case you don't (for an E)

I have a couple I starters on the shelf, thanks for the offer though.

Update 1

I broke my finger removing the car from the trailer. Don't try and do things like that alone kiddies.

More to come later.

John, why the hell did you try to remove the car from the trailer with one finger?

So yeah, the drive from Tacoma to Portland, oh yeah....50MPH in 4th, me (backseat bitch) John (shotgun) and James (driving) and Joe Funk on the speakerphone.

We get to Funks shop and are looking over the pile of shit trailer....fuuuuuck...the left wheels were amazing. The front had positive camber, the rear had negative.

No fucking wonder the trailer was yanking that Nissan around like you would not believe.

But yeah, this car will get zillions of dollars, tons of man hours...but in the end will all be worth it.

Soooo...
Does this mean you can mock up a box for the E28 now?
Huh? Huh?
How about now?

Wow, that synopsis of what all happened is amazing. Made me laugh.

James, stoked to see this project get going, will be nothing short of amazing I know.
