Calypso Story e30

[Sparkyyy]

the hard work and dedication for the engine bay and everything else.. hats off to you for clean work.. sorry about your wheel..

[Steven?]

Alright guys... Long time no update.

Well, I lost interest/went off to college... But no matter, I'm back into it and tackling the rest of my project to be ready for this show season. Here's the stuff I've done.

First thing I did which got my rolling again was redo my 2.93 LSD that had been sitting for a while.

After sitting, it got rusty...




No matter, I cleaned it up with a wire wheel and it was ready for some rust sealer.







Then I went on to do the back cover. I just resealed it with RTV silicone. I also cleaned up the bolts and tag and cleared them.




Old gasket.



Mess.




Meanwhile my wheels came off to be refinished.


Mocked this up. Genuine Mtech 2 front valence. I have the rest of the kit but i don't want to put it on this season.


Started sanding it down.


Dealing with a horrible paint job and multiple layers.



Lots of stuff to fix. Should come out good through.


Anyways, smaller update... But bigger things in the works. Lots of parts on their way along with lots of stuff that will get done to the car within the next month. Stay tuned!

Nice job thus far man , Lots of hard work so far and its coming together very well . Sucks about the wheel , I guess we all do stupid shit sometimes and regret it haha .

[Steven?]

Thanks guys! Love the support! Lots of work has gone into the car thus far and all I can hope is that maybe my build will help inspire others.

wow bud great work!!!

[Steven?]

Small update here... Got some parts in the mail and assembled my intake with the 3.5" MAF and Hard Motorsports adapter.




Waiting on a few more parts then real updates will start coming!

[Steven?]

I've done a few things. Nothing big but I decided I should at least update.
I scored a reupholstered set of seats! Some work is being done to the fronts and door cars so only pics of the back for now.


Dark spots are just a bit of wetness..


Also scored these and am having some headrests reupholstered for the rear.


In the process of cleaning up the wheels for this season...


Picked this baby up...



And ended up selling these...


...for this.


Much more to come

[Steven?]

I've been working on my car. Have some pics.

My top was leaking so I stripped my interior to dry it out. I figured I might as well re-dye the carpet at the same time!
Dirty.

Clean.





Picked these up last night. Not sure what to do with em.



What I did today!









Dad helping out..





How she sat when I was done for the day.







Today I basically just put the replacement panels on and made sure they fit right along with some minor body work, planning on the Mtech 2 valence, and I rolled the new front fender. Overall good progress towards getting the car sprayed. The interior needs some work. AKA the bottom on the front seats. But otherwise it's in perfect condition. I just need to find some new material for them.

This is a sweet build
