1985 Subaru GL - BMW E30 conversion

[MC Hammered]

No. But what you said was not ironic.

How so?

Dude, if you can't have some fun and do what you want, then what's the point? You know who would be criticizing you and saying "you're an idiot" (really constructive use of any post, seventh or otherwise) without these forums? Probably no one. Maybe your neighbors. "Oh look honey, there goes the Su-bmw-aru boy, and his grill is 3 inches too short on either side...how silly..." Doubt it.

I would have driven the Subaru as-is, but that's because I had one a bilion years ago in 4WD turbo format and wish I still had it, brown paint and all. That car owed me nuthin'.

Have your fun, man. That's what this whole thing is supposed to be about.

Your elantra is the shit. It's so different and unique and asdfacking mazing which automatically makes it about 100000x cooler then any e30 or any BMW for that matter. Cuz I seen a lot of those that have been done up and they are so dum and similar like and stuf.....
You noes what I ment

That means a lot coming from you


Because our cars are so different(not a BMW, BMW's are the superior mode of transportation, and everything else is inferior), watch out, they might give us a good talking too, or a drive by argument.

Seriously though, they call S|W stupid when the e30 is one of the most popular cars here. I can respect anyone out there that can tastefully modify an e30, but nowadays everyone with one just copies each other to impress the internet.


Back to the thread!

So much ****. just wow... Who gives a fuck what the OP is doing. I like how a few of them think the e30 is an amazing car and expensive to buy.

Thanks man

[projecthoarder]

I wasn't to sure about this, but it seems to be coming along nicely.

[kittenpuncher]

what the fuck.

Please don't try to turn this shit into an e30.
What are you smoking?

Its way more unique and its a pretty cool looking car in its own right. Don't ruin it.

I'll leave this here, but its to late.



PS I never really ****...but for real doe why not just buy an e30, you can find them for so cheap. Prolly for what you paid for the subie....

[Steve.]

I don't get why people give so much of a shit. Its not like either car is hard to find and its not like either are worth that much. Let the man do his shit, just don't do it to your own car if you **** it so much.

Alright, I had a long weekend starting Thursday and ending Sunday filming Formula Drift and Vaughn Gittin JR's smoke show with Ryan Tuerck and spent some time editing and relaxing.

Bumper is on! Pretty decent looking but it still needs to be pushed back a little further. The fenders had to be cut so the bumper could fit in there, I think it's comin together quite nicely. More progress will come it just takes time. I have too many things I'm doin to care much about this project right now.

Looks excellent. Post another photo at a different angle? Hard to see how it flows with the whole car.

[Zwingfilms]

When the front end is finished ill take it out for a nice photo shoot

[Zwingfilms]

Alright the bumper install is complete, we actually joined/welded the GL bumper reinforcement to the 5 series bumper for a proper install. It looks awesome!



Scored some HELLA 5 series fog lights and turn signals in Seattle today for $40!



Also on a positive note, I'd like to mention that R3VLimited has dedicated 6 pages to discuss what they think about my build. I'm honored, hope you guys are stoked for the final product, were workin quick to get it done.
