1985 Subaru GL - BMW E30 conversion

[Zwingfilms]

Ya Loren said he molded an extra grille on to extend it - sanded it down perfectly and painted over it.
That's the route I think I'd like to take for both sides. Check it out with headlights! The evolution continues. It's about 40% completed.

Considering getting an old 5 series bumper for
really cheap, this still is not close to being done so
don't look at this as a final product, it's no where near done.

Drove to a small car meet tonight and asked people what
they saw me drive in with and without thinking twice they
said, it looks like an old school e30. They were so surprised
when I told them what it really was. They absolutely loved it!
and clearly they understood my sense of humor and were able to enjoy it.

Loooove these balls-y builds. think outside the bolt-ons

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.

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

[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?

[montgomery]

or 6 headlights?

NO.no

[EmeraldPeanut]

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?

[Ferenza]

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.

[StaticG]

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

[Zwingfilms]

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.

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.

[chuckie]

NO.no

do it.

[Rebounder]

just the center kidneys, and 6 headlights

[M.Doban]

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

Hopefully you can pull this off.
