Interesting. Cause I'm in Essex and am always on the go. Never seen any of the three cars around. I sold a white 87 E30 to someone in Parkville earlier this year. I initially thought that was the one. But it's not.

If you haven't parted that other e30 I'd probably take everything. Motor,harness, booster, mounts, tranny brace etc.

Pm me your price ill come pick it up.

That's a hard one to answer. Normally is some type of Honda Civic or Integra. Today was a teal civic with black tape around the trunk. But you might more easily recognize me if I'm in my E38 with chrome 20's or the white E28 with black wheels I just picked up. Or a van if I'm junkyard hopping. I have a car buying problem so you never know what the heck I'll pull up in.

Looking good. The Skid Plate doesn't look to bad from that photo, seems like just scraped paint to me.

Looks pretty good so far.

This scared me:



That harness looks sketchy as fuck. Are those twist things splicing wires together like you'd use on a house?

Haha... he didnt have the cover on that top piece when I bought the car, but those arent wire nuts, just rubber covers over splicing points in the harness... all that is stock just without the cover.

Got the steering column spacers and rack spacers for the e36 rack from AKG. Got the knuckle together and everything back on with the poly bushing. It will feel nice now that it's all back together correctly.





Also have all new shifter bushings, I am excited to have lots of new bushings all around on this car and how great it will feel. I have a short shifter and the z3 shifter, I was debating which to go with, chose the z3 for now but will switch it out if it feels too short.




And finally, got the motor in, took about 15 minutes from on the crane to in the car, the only issue was getting it to sit on the condor poly mounts straight.




I worked today on hooking up everything else including the coolant hoses and the trans mount, etc. Going to do the driveshaft/diff and exhaust tomorrow and wiring Wednesday and hopefully I am driving it by the weekend!

Sub'd!

[ShEck3lls0]

Still have to modify the shifter arm because it sits a little bit to the right of the tunnel, debating on how I am going to go about doing this. Also, there are about 100 small spiders in my transmission tunnel right now, and I **** spiders.

Damn, the previous owner of your car needs a firm slap to the nads, he half assed everything. Props to you for dealing with it and doing things the right way. These are the types of builds I love to watch. I'll be following this one for sure, and since I recently bought myself an e30 as a DD, I'm sure I'll be able to learn a thing or two throughout your build as well. Keep it up, can't wait to see more!
