Out
Found a guy that wants to buy the broked m60 to use as a core charge, so that saves me from having to scrap it. Till them it's just taking up floor space
And I'm debating ordering metal and building a go kart. I want to use bike tires and make it fit on a bike rack
I'm in the planning process with the bay shave. I think i'm going to cut off the radiator support again and put a new one on since I'm not happy that I cut this one. If I do that I'll probably make new panels for on top of the frame rails so I can get rid of all the useless holes. I'd like to make some strut tower reinforcement plates like the convertibles have too, but if I do that I might want to raise the inner fenders for clearance while I'm in there...and on it goes.Last edited by Byron; 09-05-2012, 11:41 AM.

It was brought to my attention that I've been slacking on this thread recently (cough NeedingAnAudi cough), so here's some updates.
I ended up getting a larger shop down the street since my old landlord was a bitch, so I spent 2 weeks moving and cleaning/arranging the new shop. It's over 3 times bigger, so the e30 has a constant new home where I don't need to roll it in and out every day.
I started pulling all the seam sealer out of the engine bay, as I decided I'm going to go pretty much all out with the shave.
And it appears that my front springs are a bit stiffer than the chassis is designed for, because I found some cracking around the strut towers. I'm debating if I should just box the strut towers to the frame or if I should cut out the old inner fenders, make new ones that are taller and still box them in. Either way I'm going to make some hidden bracing around the front end as it seems to get quite the beating being so low.

I have always loved this build. The feel of it, the car isn't perfect at the start, but you do what you want to it. I can feel the character oozing out of this car, and I truly dig it.
Also I REAAAALLY love v8s in all cars lolStrictly Pleasure/Zero Clearance/Stretch Your LegsAlex

[QUOTE=Byron;1192901]The update you've all been waiting for...
I just acquired a set of corvette bbs rs026 have 16x10 et36 all around I kind of want to keep them as is and run on car with adapters, btw I'm in a m42 e30, you ran the wheel on your e30 in rear with 27mm adapter 215/40/16 tire but you also had a crazy drop and camber, I want to run these wheels with my current suspension setup for DD in NYC, I have bilstien sport inserts and eibach sport springs don't wanna be any lower can I run wider/taller tire? What's the best size? Will I rub without camber plates? And can I use the wheel in front as well or should I change to shallower lip to make wheel 8.5"-9" wide don't want to disassemble wheels if I don't have to. Your help and advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
