MAN YOU DO INCREDIBLE WORK! Outstanding, you will have a $70,000 car when you are done!

Only a minor update as i've been working on every car but this. Door cards are in and looking good, made some good progress on the custom hvac setup as well.

Ended up going with Chase Bays front brake line setup for OEM master cylinder. I've bent front lines before and it can be a real pain with all the angles in such a small area, not to mention you have to make sure nothing is rubbing on the engine. I do have the e38 7 series master and a 944 booster but everything seems to fit as it should. Instead of running behind the engine the soft line attaches to the front subframe which is nice. I'll update this after i run some fluid through it and mess with the regulator.







Was also able to get the windshield lock strip in this weekend but i did have to call a professional in to do it. I've done this 3-4 times but i've always used the original gasket, lockstrip and glass. I'm note sure if i wasn't able to get it done because of the new gasket and lockstrip or because the aftermarket glass wasn't made correctly.





All the polished trim was wrapped satin black and new gaskets were installed. Nothing like fresh gaskets!

I just went through this build again looking to see if you mentioned the wheels you plan on running. I didn't see any mention so, what wheels are you planning to run? Style 21s would look awesome. Do you have a build thread for the E10?

I have a set of style 5's i'm refinishing and i have a set of autostrada modena faces that i'll probably build but i'm not sure what wheels i'll put on the car. Would like to get a set of ACS type 1's and i've always liked the way futuars looked on m3s so...

I don't have a build thread but its just about ready for primer.

Doors, fenders, and bumpers are mounted/aligned. Skirts are on but don't have any hardware yet. Everything is looking pretty good so far just need to adjust a few things.

Great work so far. Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but any reason why you did not put new seam sealer in the engine bay? Have heard stories of seams splitting when its removed entirely over time on e30s.

Thank you.I wouldn't say i removed 100% of it, still left some deep in the seam. E30s have an outrageous amount in the engine bay and i wanted a clean look. Its main purpose is to lock out moisture when 2 panels are joined together so if you've seen a seam split i'd look at the welds.

5 lug front is done, this allows a 325x25 rotor.

• IRP conversion kit (took forever to get)
• E38 brembo calipers, fully rebuilt
• going with chasebays soft line kit
