I will try to upload the pics in order from start of the swap to now.
This is what the e30 looked like before the swap. A little Christmas spirit lol
Pulling the old M20 out
After pulling the m20, we painted the engine bay white. It got very dirty soon after lol. When everything is all said and done it'll get a respray
Here's the clutch that I got, as well as getting the engine and trans together and dropped it in the car!
I've never had nice suspension on any of my cars so I wanted to ball out on these lol
The brakes were my favorite mod. I just love the way they look with the wheels!
Here are a little bit of goodies that will go with the LS swap :)
The swap currently sits here, front accessories are on, rad is mounted. The only difference is that the coil pack brackets are now different which will be shown after this picture
The steering shaft was such a PITA to put in lol. Just like everything else on the swap.
