e30 316 rebuild from Finland

[MadMax]

awesome project and awesome facilities !

just one question...wouldnt it have been easier putting the black cars VIN on the white one ?? it could be borderline legal but it could´ve saved alot of the rust fixing time, if the white one was in better condition...

Tell us a little bit about you and your background it looks like this insent your first time doing a build like this.

Great quality build and craftsmanship that e30 will for ever owe you its life.

This is first build where I do everything ground up without any shortcut.

Previously have done only smaller projects. Mostly because lack of good facilities and the fact that those cars have been daily drivers, so they had to be drive-able all the time.

The first car was that e36 in first post which I have had from 2006


There has been several different stages until this day. But the biggest modifications in that are the m52b28 engine that i rebuilt and swapped it to replace original m52b20 engine.





Of course the whole drivetrain and suspension has been upgraded and rebuild:




Some exterior upgrades:

Then was the BBS RC project from 2pcs to 3pcs:

Third car I have is this audi 80 from 1985. When I got it, it wasn't the prettiest of them all, but at least it was free




But with some work it looks quite nice:




To make it usable, I had to rebuilt the engine and whole underside of the car. This was done with quite small budget, but I managed to pull it of.

Then there has been some projects for other people's cars. For example my brothers audi:

Now my brother has this e39:


Some rebuilding of the wheels for that also:






And we also stroked the engine from 2,5 liter to 2,8 liter:




plus some other upgrades

And talking about facilities. Now we have this big old cowhouse I our use:


With some necessary other stuff


And the newest upgrade is this 2 pillar car lift, which makes everything much easier:
