    I guess it time to start a build thread on the touring

    Well its finally time to start a thread now that some major stuff is starting to change. First the background. I bought this car about 6 months ago and its my first E30. I have been around them and have driven plenty of them but this is my first. The guy I bought it from imports them and I got what I think is a good deal for the condition (6k). Nothing was wrong with it mechanically just cosmetically. No rust just faded and scratched paint. I have been hunting down parts for this thing ever since I bought it and now its time to start putting them all in.

    THE PLANS:
    1. full respray
    2. redo the front seats
    3. kopi alpina 17's (hav, Thanks getouth)
    3. 3.46 LSD (have)
    4. S52 (have)
    5. manual swap (have)
    6. crack free dash (have, thanks Sskoda)
    7. H&R lowering spring
    8. Mtech2 (have, Thanks retro-bmw)
    9. basic maintenance stuff

    Sorrya about all the crappy pictures. More to come

    This came in yesterday as well. Been waiting on one of these to come up for sale since I bought the car and I missed out on one in Miami so I pulled the trigger on this one right away

        The bumpers should be but it took me 6 months to find this set. you would have to pay a lot of money to get me to part with them

          I think he meant the plastic bumpers currently on your car.

                        1 question for the r3v community. What do you think it will realistically be worth in the end? MT2 RHD touring with a rebuilt S52. Roughly?

                          What do they do to make it right hand drive?
                          Relocated steering rack or a bunch of cables?

                            I guess that would probably depend on the quality of the swap and any resto. There is a pretty wild spread of e30 values of all flavors. I'm sure it would be worth more than an e30 coupe with the same swap, if we are talking same similar condition.
