E30 vert driftcar build...Motor swap, gussets, japanese crap, and overall stupidity

[ill roller]

Great bumper swap, looks good. What method did you use to make the rears fit the arches?

The car is an 89, it just came with diving boards, I just bolted the bumper up and used some zipties to hold the sides in place.

Brilliant work man, been watching this on R3v since it started! Now give me your wheels...

Never.

Amazingly cool build thread. What a sick car you've got now.

6pack for coolant overflow?

I didn't even notice that shit. Sick!

Looking great, AJ! Can't wait to see some video of the E30 tearing it up!

[FunfGang]

Never.

Curses. Regardless, this is probably my favorite e30 build ever.

*Looking in the build tread section as usual wild E30 drift build appears.*
I was thinking that this was some broke college kid that had no money and thinking he was building a drift car, but never finish.
But then saw that it was someone from Risky Devils and keept on reading. I am very glad i did cause this is pretty bad ass. Good work!

From certain angles, it kind of looks like an old rabbit pickup. I like it.

videos, maybe?

[ill roller]

No videos yet, car is running great, but still working on some little kinks on the rest of the car and cleaning things up.

I'll take a quick video at some point.

Then I brought the car out to Wekfest Chicago, took home an award for second best euro car (not bad for a janky drift car that was in no way complete) and also got tons of exposure:
