I bought this old e30 last year for a daily tell I got my bagged mk4 back running and I really started to like it, even though it started off as a really death machine!
This is the way I picked this machine up except with exhaust cut off at the headers so I had a shop put some exhaust in and a bozozoku tip just for fun
Of course right after I bought it the dreaded bitch tube bottom seal went out so I went though most of the engines taking care of the seals and the dreaded Idel hunt the motronic 1.0 has
Next a few weeks later the fuel pumps went out.. So I thought so I tore the whole dual pump system out and I hooked up a Tre-255 pump the walbro copy pump. This ultimately was not the problem, it was a saturdated wire under the seat that was corroded.. But now atleast I have enough fuel for a m50 swap later!
Next I decided to pick up some bumpers but how spendy e30 bumpers I went with the alternative of making my own.. I seen some people had made e36 plastic bumpers work so I picked up a set for $140, I already had the plastic welder from shaving my mk4 bumpers so I gave it a shot! decieded to cut out 1.25 out of the front of the bumper to get it to fit snug. Then all my lower for the car came that week also, I went with Summit Racing and got 600lb rear 5in springs and 450lb springs for the front and cut 2 inches out of my front struts and loaded some VW Corrado shocks in for now. The rears I used Camaro rear adjustable shocks for a 80s model I just had to drill the rubber bushing a little for the bottom shock connector. If you would like any info on the stuff I made for the purchase feel free to message me. Here is the outcome so far!
Of course that week that I lower it we get about 10 inches of snow in april..............
After this I really started liking the car and ended up having some Bride seats laying around so I decided to load them into the DurtyTurdy!
Im a bit of a cheap bastard and have access to machines so I machined out all my own brackets to fit both seats in the car ill have more pictures of those to come.Next I decided I really fell for this car so off course I had to get wheels, And being a fitment freak I wanted to sneak nasty offsets under the car for fun but keep the nappy look going a little So I ordered some 8 front and 10 rear Diamond Racing Wheels 0 front offset and 12 rear offset with 195 50s all around!
Plastic welder does come in handy when you want to try to see how eyelids look also lol and I got a royal grip wheel with a adapter on the way! There is much more to come for this car ill try to document the rear bumper with as many pictures as I can for the process!
