Just another E30 build.... (a.k.a. The Bronzit B*tch)

The gauges do look great on the console. Maybe you could get some plasticine or fibreglass and mold them up a little higher on an angle? If you've never worked with the stuff its insanely simple and efficient. Especially after watching countless hours of youtube videos. Whatever you wind up doing im sure it'll look great.

Just working on some little things since im waiting for the car to go to our friends to fix the rust, but i did find a way to make those gauges work. I forgot just how thick the carpet is, so i cut it out underneath and it gave me like an inch! Also going to use elbows for even more clearence.




Also was test fitting to see what size adapters I'll need, i think im going to run 18mm in the front and 20mm in the rear

Boner Jams '87 for sure, happy to be spreading the motivation around!



Not a whole lot to report right now, finally made a permanent dipstick mount, ran some of the things needed for the air ride, removed the radio cause it didnt work so i bought a delete plate, and then bought a better radiator fan from the pick n pull.

Got somethings happening this weekend, bought a harness/firewall cover to clean up the engine bay. the harness was way to big because the wires where to long and had to be folder over on each other... so the only thing to do is cut out a section and resolder every wire. so yeah. thats happening. im like 70% done.



Also, my radio never really worked and i never really missed it. So I removed it and anything related to it, still need to plug the antenna hole.



Also need a new obc or euro clock...



My cousin bought his first E30 a few weeks ago and he was finally able to drive it out so I can help him do some work on it. Replaced the usual timing belt, water pump, and other stuff!

Great progress so far. Keep up the good work=)

the gauge placement is rad. Would have looked good where you deleted the radio too.

Thank you sir!

I like them where they are now too, kinda wanna keep the dash as simple as possible. Thats kinda been the whole thing with this car, only the necesities. No AC, no power steering, no ABS, and no radio.

Finished up the wiring tonight! Definitely worth the time it took. I was a total bitch though...

Still waiting on my guy to do the rust repair on it, hopefully its soon...
