That caliper color is quite snazzy.

Thanks, in person in the sun it's awesome.

Did some work on my brother's car and in return got my stuff ceramic coated.
The white/silver on the down pipe is chrome ceramic, I still need to polish it.
Got one manifold all wrapped, I'll finish up tomorrow after work.
Also for those wondering the driveshaft fit with just a little hammering of where the old center support used to mount.

this is absolutely amazing mate, balls have gone well and firmly deep

Awesome work dude.
Your fab skills are brilliant, this car is going to be proper.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

Getting closer, still need to polish the chrome ceramic coating on my down pipe.
My brother still has to powder coat my front calipers and breather box so I can make hoses. I'm kind of amazed how close this thing is to being complete.

Not much to update, slowly chipping away at the little odds and ends on e30.
Put the driveshaft in for good, redid fuel cell vent so my garage stopped smelling like gas, finished up pulley setup and put on a belt, had powder coating redone, put downpipe back on. Lost oil pressure in my m106 swapped e28 so I sold off the turbo setup and swapped in a 5.3 with a big cam, plan on putting on a procharger I picked up for a deal.

E28 looks awesome with that 5.3 hiding in there.

[spaaals]

the e28 looks soo clean

[Dirk HX35]

Update, I haven't touched the e30 but the e28 runs just need to finish it up and start dailying it again. Can't wait.

random question, would you engine swap other peoples cars for cash?

[theitchybeard]

I would love to but I don't have the space yet. I'm trying to talk my brother into splitting a big garage with me, he does powder coating.

[whacka]

well if you find space within the next 5 months private message me and maybe we can work something out, I'm deployed right now so I'm patient lol

[Dirk HX35]

E30 is getting close, still need to finish up the little bullshit and wheels/tires.
Swapped in e46 control arms for some added camber to get these wheels to "fit"
Made new rear caliper brackets. Welded in diff mount, installed chromoly axles that will probably snap. Filled the diff up. Sold my second hand homebrew coilovers and I'll be ordering some bcracing coilovers like I have in my e28. E28 is all done, running and driving just needs a tune for big cam and no maf. Things are good.
