My E30 restoration - '87 4doors

[Sbimy]

Merry Christmas !
Happy day for me, cause today, the rear is on !





The front in the next episode tomorrow

[Welfare]

Coming up a treat.

Love the paint colour choice on the chassis.

This build is boring ? Or too slow ?

Whatever, i work, and do my best


Today, arm assembly on rear frame. Not easy, to do but i think it's because of adjustable powerflex in arms...

New paint done

Edit : Small updates

Rear trailing arm with Poxerflex camber adjust



And re-assembly caliper (e36 m3 front and e36 compact rear)



I'm actually trying to do a machined steel plate for a second rear caliper, for independant and hydraulic handbrake.
Also motor and gearbox mount are in fabrication too =)

Bought a pair of seat for cheap, with harness.
Very good condition, and at my size

[Sbimy]

Fitting test, new paint on rear arms with new bearing and 5x120 hub...

Can't wait to put it on the car !

[Sbimy]

My new daily ! I bought it a month ago.
525i 24v E34, worldline, 170k, good condition.
So it's my third M50 at home



Oil service E34 : OEM oil filter, magnetized drain plug, castrol edge sport...



And now, time to work on the motor of E30 ! Put some parts, like alternator, starter, and harness mount.
Remove the damper (is that the right word ?) and a timing chain cover.
After paint it in black mat.
( and delete the A/C mount)







That's all for today !

Where did you buy that flywheel? I have been looking something like for long time, but i have only found full kits with clutch plate and presure assembly included.

EDIT Never mind. I already found out.

Driftwork flywheel bought on www.driftshop.fr (very good french drift parts dealer)
I don't know how to buy this things on a european website, but in France, you can check cyl6.com too.

You should convert this into an E30 M3 sedan

It's beautiful, but my sedan is not a M3, so i don't want M3 body kit
Only few mtech parts, not more
