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

[ill roller]

Rear coil over conversion. Nice.

I am loving this thing, I have an 86 I have been toying with that is getting an aluminum headed sbc.
I have been so tempted to cut the roof off and cage it, this car keeps teasing me to do so.

DO IT!

Who did the rest of the paint work? I've been trying to find someone reasonably priced to repaint my front bumper.

Great Lakes Auto Body in North Chicago. They do good work at dirt cheap prices and great work at good prices, and the turn around time is always reasonable. Stop by or call them and tell Leo I sent you, he'll hook it up.

real cool build man, would love to skid a vert.
i dont like the volvo lip on the front, but do understand that theyre cheap/free and dont look too bad.

I like the Volvo lip because when it's painted it looks like a more aggressive IS lip, but the price and availibility doesn't hurt... I'd switch it out for Reiger or Mtech at some point, but I'm not really putting much effort into the outside of the car for now.

This car is far too sick.

Thanks guys.

Do you do your body work at A&L / IND?

The interior and engine bay work on this car were done by A&L. I haven't used them since, and don't really plan to... Got tired of them taking months to do simple work because me not being a high dollar customer made my car not a priority to them. Along with other shady they did to me personally, the quality of their work didn't make up for the service.
