Hey guys, finally got around to taking pictures of the e30's and making an intro. I've had my e30 (88 325is 5spd) for about 4 months now and i love it.
Some of the things that i have done off the top of my head are rebuild the back calipers, smoked and french high beamed the headlights, momo steering wheel with quick release, put in new brake fluid and gas hard lines (hardest thing so far haha, and put in headers. In the near future i'm going to be putting on these bbs rs's (after i finish rebuilding them) that i picked up in Japan and get some coilovers.
My dad also loved my car and decided to get himself his own (89 vert). Got the vert non running, and we are in the process of restoring it. We pulled the engine and had the head flattened out and cleaned, and replaced most of the gaskets, seals, hoses, belts etc.
When we got it:
pulling engine:
where its at now:
We got the engine back in, but having trouble starting it. It will run for about 5-10 seconds if you keep giving it gas and then die. Hopefully we can get it running soon, but we have all winter now..
The other day we looked into what looked to be a cracking rocker panel but soon discovered a bondo hackjob..:( time to get a welder.
Once we get it running we plan to fix up all the dents and rust and get it resprayed. And maybe do a 5 speed swap.
Without this forum we could not have done all this work on these cars, and for that me and my dad thank you!!
Hope to see you guys around!
