1985 Subaru GL - BMW E30 conversion

[Miroteknik]

I would have killed to have the Subaru in such a clean condition.

Hopefully you can pull this off.

Picked up a 5 Series E34 bumper to match the headlights perfectly..$20





The guy supplying me the parts is really chill. He owns a BMW/Ducati shop called
Worldmotorsports on Aurora Ave in Seattle, WA. He measured all the dimensions for
me.. you won't believe this…

Not only did the length and width of the front bumper match, but the rear bumper
also fits the same dimensions and an e30 hood is off only by an inch.

He's actually quite surprised how well this is coming along and were both stoked for it to be done.
I'll test fit the bumper as soon as I find time, I've got a lot of big projects coming up.

If you're curious, here's the latest video I put out this week…

That's beautiful. Stock hood?

no the raised part in the middle is wider.
It is really pretty though, the car is from russia so Im not sure if they modified the kidneys or not

For the lol factor put a pair of red supertones behind the kidney grilles.

How have I not seen this around?

[Zwingfilms]

I like the Hella Horns idea, that would be sweet.

So I took off that ugly stock bumper and tried my best to fit this one on. I gutted the inside of this bumper
and still wasn't enough. The car seems to be an inch too wide on each side, I think I'll need to make a slit in the fender so it can just slide in. I'll see what my auto body guy thinks.

[Stupid Kid]

looks pretty cool bumperless, the front end works

[244Brick]

This is going to be so cool

[Zwingfilms]

Cruisin around with no bumper. I dig it. Looks a hell of a lot better at least, that's for sure
