Sorry to hear about the wiring.. Makes me sick. This is a fantastic build dude, can't wait to see it come together.

Thanks man. It's almost better that now I'm not rushing to get it out for anything. I can just take my time and have the thing running on proper suspension and what not before it hits the road.

Nice build, coming together real nice...btw do I detect your place being in The Esplanade?

So after bleeding my clutch I discovered that it was not going to be functional with the stock 3/4" master, so I bought a 5/8" master and made a bracket to install it inside the engine bay, and using a rod from the pedal to actuate it...works a lot better now!

(for some reason photobucket wouldn't let me rotate these photos)

And due to lack of room in the engine bay, I engineered a solution to still utilize a brake booster, but to relocate it using 1:1 master and slave cylinders.




And Some progress is being made once again with wiring as I finally received new core harnesses to start with.

Euro front bumper is ordered and on its way, and I've decided to get it painted this winter...pics will be added shortly of the paint prep.

I was surprised to show up at the shop tonight and see most of the body sanded down... you must have hauled today dude!

[EuroNut]

yessir, i need to go over it again, but the windshield needs to come out first

[EuroNut]

So the car is apart (for the most part) and paint prep is well underway...



Hood, fenders, and valence almost all prepped



roof and trunk prep



I forgot my camera so please excuse the crappy quality camera phone

^^ that's the dream look (minus the color) for my E30. love it! i may be sending you messages this winter in regards to the swap, because it's either this or slap an ebay turbo on my stock 2.7L in my 325 haha

I'm really liking how this car is turning out.

in true "doing everything at once" fashion...working on mapping out the wiring to finally get that started
