Love everything about this!
I'm a bit of an e30 noob but I have a couple questions (sorry if they've already been answered) but what suspension setup are you on? And what valances are those? Just the ES valances?

my old suspension was cosmo racing coils/sleeves, corrado front/camaro rear struts and shortened front strut housings. my new coils are bc extreme low, and the front valance is an is valance, and zender rear

Coming along great man. Enjoyed seeing this down at H2Oi this year.

Really impressed with the work you're putting in! Coming along great!

epic build form and function at its best

Thanks!

is this to run the harness through the rails?

I will be running just the headlight harness through the drivers side frame rail, the engine harness will be going under an m3 harness cover along the firewall

not impressed by any of this. it all sucks. would rather see an aveo on 15x10's

I'd like to think there isn't a person alive who wouldn't rather see an aveo on 15x10's

Metal work in the bay is 99% done, I'm pumped to be done with that. Welding is all finished I just have to go pick up a small angle grinder to get into the last couple difficult areas.





here's the "stance" update






this is what I'm going for, with slightly less camber. i don't have any suspension in right now so I just had the wheel held up there. the quarters will be pulled out flat since with the hub actually mounted it will sit much farther out.

I've been slacking horribly on taking pictures of what I've been doing, so instead, you can read what I did.

Bought more stuff, more than I could technically afford at the moment.
I got:

New (used) rear axles
80°c thermostat
aluminum thermostat housing
Rear subframe bushings
Serpentine belt
Injector o-rings
Used rear hubs are on their way

I put most of that stuff on, still cleaning up the diff and I'm gonna paint it so the rear end isn't together yet, but I did clean up the rust on the subframes and trailing arms and painted all of them.

My parts list is getting shorter since I just ordered the last sensor I need for the swap, but the remaining parts are big ones like euro bumpers and front lips.

No word yet on when the coilovers will ship, BC is building them now.
