1985 Subaru GL - BMW E30 conversion

[Zwingfilms]

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…

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

Hopefully you can pull this off.

That was another 'owning'? I'm from New Zealand. Once again, stop posting.

Hey man watch out, he obviously knows the entire history of England and has supreme opinion, you never know.


OP, I'm coming around to the looks of this, I just still don't get the point. But continue to do what you do.

Ferenza - believe it or not, those are the stock Subaru tail lights. Those tail lights were what sparked my idea to go through with this because of the striking resemblance

StaticG - thanks man! Your encouragement helps motivate me especially coming from Australia - mad respect, wish I lived there - I don't know if you're familiar with Marty and Moog "mighty car mods" but I'm a huge fan! I have a shirt from them, if I ever fly down to film I'd love to check out a mighty car mods car meet.

stoked your going through with it no matter what, respecto dude

Well this is unique.
Subaru loyale turned e30.
At first i was like , its a clean loyale why mess it up. Just slam it and boost it. Almost nobody knows of them and it would be a unique little car.
But the e30 lights grew on me and will probably look gpod once everything is fitted. I like the e30 rear lights and it looks a whole heap better with those on.
Good luck on the project. Cant wait to see this finished.

I have an e23 and an e30 and the grille on the e23 looks a little taller if i remember correctly

e32 kidneys are definitely the biggest, check out how huge they are on an e30


(looks like a lancia...)

That's beautiful. Stock hood?

[montgomery]

or 6 headlights?

NO.no

[chuckie]

I don't like it, but I do like it! haha, can't you get an extra grill, and put pieces of that in between? or 6 headlights?

[Evilist]

Interesting build, are you going to try and line it up more with the bonnet? Interested to see where this goes

[Anonymoose]

You're British, no one cares about your opinion.

The only good thing the British ever had were the American colonies, and they couldn't even hold onto those.
